LAST WEEK'S FINANCES
July 23rd, 2006
Number of envelopes used last week: 333 out of 1700. Average per envelope: $48.42. Stewardship of Treasure Goal: 5% GIVEN IN GRATITUDE.
THOUGHTS ON STEWARDSHIP
John's account of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes shows what can happen with a little generosity - the lad in the gospel shared his loaves and fishes, and with that contribution Jesus was able to feed five thousand!
Choose Life Prayer - We pray that believers may reach out in gentleness and love to help women experiencing an untimely pregnancy.
