Stewardship: A Way of Life

28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

“My God will supply whatever you need…”

Philippians 4:19

God really does provide for those who are grateful and generous. This is very difficult for people who don’t live a stewardship lifestyle to believe. People are skeptical and say it’s just coincidence. If you are skeptical, try living a stewardship lifestyle for just one month - be generous with your gifts of time in prayer, talent in charitable works and treasure and see how God provides for your needs.

WORD OF LIFE: “I would now like to say a special word to women who have had an abortion. The Church is aware of the many factors which may have influenced your decision, and she does not doubt that

in many cases it was a painful and even shattering decision. The wound in your heart may not yet have healed. … But do not give in to discouragement and do not lose hope. … The Father of mercies is ready to give you his forgiveness and his peace in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.”

Pope Saint John Paul II Evangelium vitae, no 99

Community members have until October 31st to drop their donation of new socks at Petry Chiropractic or the Edgerton Library. All donations stay in Edgerton.
