STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:     John 10:14         
“I am the good shepherd.  I know my own and my own know me.” What does it mean to know the Lord?  It starts with being known by the Lord:  He claims us as His own and calls us by name.  Then, once we are His, we learn to know Him…and in knowing Him we learn to imitate Him.  And that is how the Christian life of good works and generosity grows from the Lord’s grace.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
