Stewardship Corner
Zechariah 9:9 “Behold, your King is coming to you; righteous and having
salvation is He, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a
donkey.” No king ever rode to war like this. But no king had ever come to
wage battle by dying. In this Passion, our Lord Jesus gives everything He
has and is to bring us from death to life: He is the King Who wins by
losing. Witness: Today we hear of how Jesus rode into Jerusalem on
a donkey, with the crowd laying palm branches before Him. By
Friday we see our King crowned with thorns. And He did it for us. Is
there someone you can invite to worship during Holy Week?
We pray this week for our families:

BLESSED AGAIN RESALE SHOP—HELP NEEDED! Blessed
Again Resale at 7624 W. Hampton is a wonderful success
story. Their sales have allowed Place of Refuge to pay off
their mortgage. Place of Refuge provides support and
services for pregnant women without family help so they are
able to keep their babies. The shop is ‘blessed’ with many
donations, but not enough help to get them ready for display.
If you can spare a few hours, they would be most grateful.
Call 414-464-9099 if your heart is so moved.
