STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:       John 2:16          

“And he told those who sold the pigeons, ‘Take these things away; do not make my Father’s house a house of trade.’” The Lord’s House is not a place to sell, but a place to receive and a place to give.  It’s not a place for our schemes and plans.  Instead the Church is a place for the Lord’s gracious giving and our faithful sacrifices in response.

T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
