Jesus said more about money than heaven or hell combined. One out of ten verses (288 in all) deal directly with the subject of money in the gospels.
.
Sixteen of the thirty-eight parables were concerned with how to handle money and possessions.
.
The Bible offers 500 verses on prayer, less than 500 verses on faith, but more than 2000 verses on money and possessions. "(God) has provided His people with a surplus of means, that when He calls for help, they may cheerfully respond. If they will be faithful in bringing to His treasury the means lent them, His work will make a rapid advancement. Many souls will be won to the truth, and the day of Christ's coming will be hastened." C.S., p.45
.

Pledges are slowly coming in and God is blessing. Please keep our church and it's growth continually in your prayers seeking His will in the stewardship of His gifts that He has given to each of us.
.
I am excited to witness the financial miracles the God is waiting to perform. He is just waiting for us to ask for His blessing as we step out in faith and make Him our top priority financially and in all other aspects of our lives.

Yours in His Service,
Linda Haines, Stewardship Secretary
