STEWARDSHIP SUNDAY Next Sunday, November 8, is Stewardship Sunday. This is the official beginning to our 2010 Stewardship Program. Stewardship Cards have been mailed and we ask everyone to thoughtfully and prayerfully complete their card and place it in the bowl in the foyer. This year’s theme: “Come and See”, reminds us of our commitment to Christ and how we can grow through service to the Church. Offer a meaning and truly sacrificial gift to God!
