THIS WEEK'S SERVANTS

NEXT WEEK'S SERVANTS

Thank YouThe special collection on October 14th for the Food Distribution brought in

$797.00! Thank you for your generosity!! ********

After the last distribution, 375lbs. of excess produce was brought over to VEAP.

“With angels, archangels, and with all the company of heaven …” When we gather around the altar of the Lord in His House we pray and praise God with “all the company of heaven.” Those we have lost in the Lord are not truly lost to us – they have simply entered their rest with

the Lord. As we gather to worship our Lord, we gather along with them. On the Last Day everything that God has given into the care of our

stewardship will fade away – everything except our brothers and sisters in Christ. Caring for one another in love and grace is our highest calling.

Count Your Blessings…a Stewardship Minute
