Stewards Prepare: “Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.” MATTHEW 24:42 People who have had health issues or near-death experiences generally have a greater appreciation for each day being a gift from God. The rest of us usually take for granted that we will be around tomorrow. But when in living Stewardship you start to look at each day as a gift, you realize all the little miracles that happen daily and grow in gratitude for all that we have been given.

Collection totals will be printed next weekend.
