“[Jesus] sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the crowd putting money into the treasury.
Many rich people put in large sums. A [humble] widow came and put in two small copper coins,
which are worth a penny.” – Mark 12:41-42

One final notice: Sunday is Stewardship Sunday! The worship service will include a moment when we present and dedicate our financial commitments for the upcoming year. Jesus will be there – watching lovingly…paying close attention to our giving. The good news is that he’s not concerned with the size of the gifts we put into the treasury but the spirit behind the sacrifice. I’ll say more when I see you. The sermon is entitled: SOS! Pledging from Jesus’ POV.

Tikkun olam!
