CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP:

What are the rewards of Stewardship? We seek no “rewards” for our stewardship; we do it with the joy of serv-ing God. Stewardship is the responsibility of the Christian life, making our prayers, worship, study of scriptures, Chris-tian action truly sincere. Our whole life is a partnership with God. We cannot “give” anything to God, but we can fulfill God by using our gifts wisely and sharing with others. Your giving is the key to the success of church plans and programs. To help us meet our obligations, please pray about TITHING and becoming GOOD STEWARDS

Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Sa-tan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen!

HURRICANE SEASON PRAYER

God, our Father, all the elements of nature obey your command. Keep us safe from the danger of hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, natural disasters and all acts of terrorism. May we be secure in your protection and always feel the presence of your love as you turn our fears into praise of your goodness. Bless our families and bring peace to all nations. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen!
