Etobicoke, ON M9V 1B6 Stewardship Feature: The Bible offers great guidance on how to live, and calls on each of us to use our gifts and abilities in every aspect of our lives. This year, let us purpose to use our talents to give glory to God at all times. How much we give is important, however, how much love we put into giving is more important. If we give the whole of our worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to us much more than we gave. A billboard sign read A lot of people are willing to give God the credit, but not too many are willing to give God the cash. All we have will eventually be given therefore give now that the season of giving may be ours and not our inheritors. Bulletin Information must be submitted by Monday night at 8:00 p.m. 6 7
