STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:      2 Cor. 8:3        
“For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own free will.”  St. Paul lifts up an example of faithful Christian generosity in the Epistle lesson today.  Read those words again this week and ponder them.  How is the Lord calling you to increase your generosity toward His work?
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
