STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:      Mark 4:40        
“He said to them, ‘Why are you so afraid?  Have you still no faith?”  Faith means trust.  If we trust the Lord, what do we have to be afraid of?  Isn’t it fear that stops us from following the Lord’s Word to give generously toward His work in the Church?  Well… “Why are you s afraid?  Have you still no faith?”  The Lord has proved His trustworthiness by His cross.  You can trust Him. His HHH
                  
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
