Stewardship - An Act of Faith
Matthew 1:21 – “She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” What our good works could never do, Jesus has done: He has saved us from our sins, paid our debt, set us free. How can we not give thanks to Him with lives of generosity and godliness? What God’s Law could not do — truly motivate us to truly good works — Jesus’ love has done!

Food of Faith - Help Needed
Food of Faith has grown in the number of people it has served in the last 1 1/2 yrs since I have been heading it up for St. Paul. We have gone from serving 160 people to 275 in recent weeks. We are committed to serving 5 meals this year.
I am looking for people who are able to help out with monetary donations no matter how small or big. Thrivent cards are greatly appreciated also. I'm asking those who are willing to gift us with their Thrivent cards to not activate them until needed as they have to be used by a certain date once activated. I will give a full accounting of all gifts received.
The months we will be serving are January, March, April, July & October. I have Thrivent cards for January but cash donations are still needed. I ask you to keep me & this Ministry in your prayers. Thank you. Jamie Zeilinger 989 992-4602.
Childcare During Bible Study Hour
Over the last few weeks, we have noticed that there may be a need for one or two people to staff the nursery during the bible study hour for children who are younger than Sunday School age, so the parents may be able to attend the Bible Study hour. If you are willing to help you can sign up by clicking the link here or contacting Tiffany List (989)225-8516 or email tmlist@yahoo.com. nicole
Additionally, If you could benefit from Child care during the Bible Study Hour please fill out the form by clicking here or contact Tiffany List (989)225-8516 or tmlist@yahoo.com
