STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:   Ephesians 2:13        
“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.”  What all of mankind’s efforts, works, and scheming could not do, the blood of Christ did: we have peace with God, we are brought near to the Father.  This life-giving sacrifice of Christ sets the pattern for the sacrifices we are called to make for others within our vocations in home, church, and society.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
