STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION
Stewardship Sacrifice
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes might not perish but might have eternal life." (John 3:16)

Of all the wonderful gifts that God has given to us, the gift of His own Son is truly the greatest. How can we ever thank God for a gift like that? God does not ask us to sacrifice our own precious first born, but He does ask that we give sacrificially of our time, talent and treasure in service to His people.

Thank you.
