1 Hope Lutheran Church 4131 Lehigh Drive, Cherryville, PA (610) hopecherryville.org September 29, 2013 Michael and All Angels Consideration of and care for those in need (especially those "at our gate," visible to us, of whom we are aware) is an essential component of good stewardship. It is in the sharing of wealth that we avoid the snare of wealth. It is the one whom death could not hold who comes to us risen from the dead who can free us from the death grip of greed.
