Continuing In Faith
|
"For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were
grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these,
who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?"
- Romans 11:24
|
Meaning: Continuing in faith produces fruit. Before faith we were barren, wild by nature,
choosing unbelief and unruly behaviour. Belief yields to being cultivated by God.
It produces self-control and the fruit of the Spirit.

LOANS
The church has been giving the congregation a financial report every year, for the parishioners to be aware
of the financial status of our church.
As was pointed out, the mortgage loan on the Sunday School building is the greatest expense. The church
does not benefit from the mortgage interest paid, as individuals do.
In an effort to reduce this monthly expense, we have been getting personal loans from individuals so as to
lower the interest expense on the church.
We look to you to help our church in this way by loaning the church any amount for as long a duration as
possible.
Please call Mr. Onsy Youssef, the church treasurer, at (732) 257-0902 for full details.
