Stewardship

“I know how devoted you are to God, since you did not withhold from me your own beloved son.” -
Genesis 22:12
Abraham was so devoted to God that he was willing to sacrifice his only son. How does our own devotion compare? Do we withhold time, talent and treasure from the God who sacrificed His only Son for us?
This Week’s Stewardship of Time and Talent Salute

We salute everyone who worked so hard to make our yard sale a SUCCESS!!!

“Everyday-Everyway Stewards”
We are grateful this week for all steward disciples in our parish who try to share our Faith with others.

“Our Children’s Stewardship”
Use some of these questions at dinner time to help get the conversation headed in the right direction.
Why doesn’t God give us everything we want?
Does God provide everything we need?
Why do you think Job trusted God?
How do you think Job felt when he realized that God always
loved him?
Can you think of good times and bad times when God’s love
for you has remained constant?
