| Dear Friends in Christ, | |
"Give me a pure heart that I may see Thee.
A humble heart that I may hear Thee,
A heart of love that I may serve Thee,
A heart of faith that I may abide in Thee."
Dag Hammarskjold

| Stewardship Notes | |
Here are our First Quarter Giving and Attendance Statistics. As you can see, we're growing again! Keep on giving and keep on inviting folks to worship!
See those $5,000 per month entries in the future? Those come from electronic fund transfers that some have set up. Do you have questions about how to give? Go to:

Try Tithing this December!
Try Tithing in December! If you are not one of our faithful "tithers", we encourage you to give tithing a try this coming December. Tithing is the regular giving of the first tenth (10 %) of your income to the work of the church. It is sharing your blessings with your neighbor in a most meaningful way. Give it a try...you might find it habit forming!

"Here is the truly Christian life, here is faith really working by love, when a man applies himself with joy and love to the works of that freest servitude in which he serves others voluntarily and for nought, himself abundantly satisfied in the fullness and riches of his own faith."
