Together in Faith: Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14
Encouraged by the heavenly call of God, St. Paul invites us to press on to the goal. In another Scripture, we hear how we should press on: we should feed the hungry, we should care for the sick, we should reach out to the needy, we should welcome the newcomer. Stewardship is no less than doing these simple but challenging things. Friday Lenten Soup Supper: This This Friday’s soup supper will be at Church of Transfiguration, 514 S. Mountain Rd in Mesa.
