Stewardship Time “Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time will come.” - MARK 13:33 We all take things for granted. In particular, we take time for granted. Our lives are so busy, many of us are planning our time - our days, weeks, months, even years in advance. Remember, our time on earth is a gift. None of us knows how long we will be here. Start today through your Stewardship thanking God for each and every day. Take time in silence, every day, and listen to what God is saying to you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
