Stewardship Prayer
Almighty God, we thank You for all
the gifts You have given us: our lives,
our loved ones, all that we have and all that we are. Most of all, we thank You for Jesus, Your Son
and our Redeemer, Who came among us to show us the way of eternal life. Jesus was the perfect steward of your gifts,
showing that complete trust in You is necessary, and the giving of self is a
most important of following Him. May the
offerings of our TIME, our TALENTS, and our TREASURE be
made in the same spirit of sacrifice that Jesus taught us by His life and death
for us. Amen

WEEKLY
REFLECTIONS
We
believe that God will answer our prayers; but, often we wonder why so many of
our prayers seem to go unanswered. Do we
need to follow a special formula, do something specific, or offer our prayer in
a special place? There is no magic
involved nor is there a specific criteria we have to follow. These seemly unanswered – it just isn’t the
answer we wanted. The “problem” is not
the prayer or how we pray – it is in what we are praying for. A man prayed every day to win the lottery and
finally one day God spoke to him: “Buy a ticket!” What do you pray for and do
you do your part to make what you ask for possible? When I called you answered me; you built up strength within me. – Psalm 138:3
HAVE A GREAT
WEEKEND!
