ONEIDA CASINO on Wednesday, May 16. All senior
parishioners and friends are invited. The cost for this trip is

“The community of believers was of one heart and mind and
no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own.”
Acts 4:32
Stewardship calls us to recognize, just as the early Christians
did, that none of our possessions is our own. All that we
have – our health, our education, our skills, our talents and
our livelihood – are gifts from God. The natural reaction
when someone gives you a gift is to want to give something
back. What do you give back to God?
