Celebrating Stewardship:
Looking up to GodStewardship Dedication Sunday, Nov. 13
After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them…His master said to him, “Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things…enter into the joy of your master.” Matthew 25:19, 21
…I pledge, tithe and volunteer because I love my Heavenly Father with all my heart, my might, and my soul, and I love my earthly parents and the values they taught me in his name. Thanks be to God!... ─ Kathleen Captain
