Those of us who've gone ahead are saints. their faith mirrors tha of the Beatitudes. Their mercy and meekness paved the way for us to be here. their stewardship made possible our faith and practice. Our stewardship must do the same. We must be people who do for the next generation. We must be people who love the next generation. We must be people who walk in a way that opens doors for the next generation. To do this, we must give to the church.
