STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:     1 John 5:12        

“Whosoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” Jesus is the foundation, the bedrock, the beginning and the end.  To have Him is to have it all.  In Him we have life.  And we are called to live in Him to live this new life He has given us, to grow up into His image.  This is a struggle in this sinful world.  But His grace is sufficient as he refreshes us through the Word and Sacrament.

T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
