In September we are focusing on Financial Stewardship...becoming great stewards who manage, multiply, and greatly increase all that God has entrusted to us.

Proverbs 23:6-7 says, Do not eat the food of a stingy man, do not crave his delicacies; for he is the kind of man who is always thinking about the cost. "Eat and drink," he says to you, but his heart is not with you. You will vomit up the little you have eaten and will have wasted your compliments. 

Part of us becoming great stewards is getting rid of stinginess. We are called to be generous, but not wasteful. When Jesus multiplied the fish and loaves, he had the disciples pick up the leftovers. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us remove any stinginess we may have. And we are asking him to help us become more like him by becoming generous but not wasteful. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

It's important to get regular consistent training, but it's also important to play and have fun. Make sure to take a little time to walk, hike, or play sports, or do other physical activities you enjoy. 

 I am praying for you.

Daniel
