STEWARDSHIP ... is what I do after I say I believe

Jesus appeared in Galilee proclaiming Gods good news: This is the time of ful-
fillment. The reign of God is as hand! Reform your lives and believe in the good
news!
Mark 1:14-15
The good news of stewardship is that giving can change our lives. Countless
Christians have discovered the joy that giving can bring into their lives. Our
motto should be: Give to Live or Give until it feels good.
