Because Jesus lives, he redirects our time and energy from protecting ourselves and our interests to using our time, energy, and money for others without expectation of reward. Because Jesus gives daily to us, we give to the work of the Church and those in need.

• Week Nine of Pledge Card: GIVE my time, energy, and money to the Church & others in need without expectation of reward.
• Help with Shower Ministry THIS Friday (July 18). Talk to Herb about setting up or come Friday morning at 8am to show God’s love to our neighbors!
