Spotlight on Stewardship
September 18, 2016 Stewardship Reflection “No servant can serve two masters. He will hate one
and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise
the other. You cannot serve God and mammon
(wealth).” LUKE 16:13
Is money a “god” that you put before God? Giving
money to support the Church and other charities is a
pillar of our Faith, just like attending Mass every
Sunday and participating in parish ministry. Giving
money frees us from being a slave to money and
increases our dependence on God and to trust that
He will provide all that we need.
Ministry Spotlight
Tender Loving Comforters
The Tender Loving Comforters (TLC) are here for you!
The TLC and Good Neighbor ministries have merged
and are expanding in order to minister to and care for
more St. Anne parishioners, particularly those
experiencing the joy and chaos of new life and the
grief of a loss. This fantastic group will prepare and
deliver meals to bereaved St. Anne families around
the time of a wake or funeral, to St. Anne families
welcoming a new baby, and to St. Anne parishioners
recovering from illness or major surgery.
If you are in need of assistance from the TLC ministry,
please let us know by calling the Parish Office at
706-561-8678.
