Discretionary Fund Sunday
The first Sunday of each month is the Rector's Discretionary Fund Sunday. The Discretionary Fund is used for people in need of food, gas, utilities or help with rent. All plate cash goes to this fund. If contributing to this by check, please write Discretionary Fund on your check.
After Jesus Told Lazarus to come forth from the grave and Lazarus came out wrapped in his grave clothes, Jesus said, "Unbind him, and let him go."
John 11:44
Jesus came to save and set people free in all areas of their lives. Many people are bound or burdened by the circumstances in their lives. As good stewards, let us be alert to the needs of others and be quick to help however we can. Ask the Lord how you can best help; sometimes just a smile or a quick phone call can make all the difference in someone's life.
