NEWS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

WWe are called to be a light to others as we mentor, model, encourage and guide through our acts, attitude and more…all stewardship expressions. Our words and efforts are always on display for others to observe. We reflect Christ to others as we bring our light to the world in daily living. Who else might we expect to do the same? How will we pass on the role of living as caretakers / good stewards?

Consider the responsibilities that you accept for the care, maintenance and nurturing of the environment. Daily acts reflect our legacy of living as we serve to enhance the well-being of present and future generations. Each of us can make a great difference through simple efforts.

Show spirit in cleaning up closets and in sharing clothing, household items, books, toys, food and more with others. Think forward toward planting a garden to share in helping to feed others.
