2 Cor 9:6-8 Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap

bountifully. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you

may have an abundance for every good deed

Thank you to all who have given so faithfully!

Matthew 25:34 “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of

the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me

something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you

visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give

You something to drink? 38 And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You?

39 When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these

brothers of Mine, even the least of them,

you did it to Me.’
