Stewardship
Both widows in today’s readings gave all they had to the work of the
Lord, one using all her remaining food to feed Elijah and the other offering
her two copper coins to the temple treasury. Faithful stewards give all that is
asked and trust the Lord to be faithful to His promises.
PLEASE PRAY FOR
For those who are ill, especially: James Esposito, Beverly Turok and Josephine
Sarnoski that their suffering and trials may become sources of grace for
themselves and others.
God Bless

2009 Bishop’s Annual Appeal
Because We Are Church
Many people are feeling the impact of these trying economic
times. Yet, Christian stewardship
invites us to trust…to take a risk…to share what we have with others in the
confidence that our heavenly Father will provide us with all that we truly
need. It is in this spirit that you are
invited to make a sacrificial gift to help our Church meet the many pastoral,
educational and charitable needs in our communities – needs that are even
greater in these challenging times.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration.

“It’s not
enough to merely exist. It’s not enough
to say, ‘I’m earning enough to live and support my family. I do my work well, I’m a good parent.’ That’s all very well, but you must do
something more, something for your fellow man…For, remember, you don’t live in
a world all your own. Your brothers are
here, too.” - Albert Schweitzer
