STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:     Zechariah 9:9          
“Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” No king ever rode to war like this.  But no king had ever come to wage battle by dying.  In His Passion, our Lord Jesus gives everything He has and is; He does this to bring us from death to life and to make us His own people.      
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
