STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:     John 20:19          

“Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’” The peace we have in Jesus is what makes a life of good works possible.  Since we know that it is Jesus who saved us, and not our works, we are now free to do good works not out of self-interest, but for the right reasons: out of thanksgiving toward God and love for our neighbors.

T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
