See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. It is those12
who want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to becircumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of
Christ. For even those who receive circumcision do not themselves keep the law, but13
they desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh. But far be it14
from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world hasbeen crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither circumcision counts for anything,15
nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this16
rule, upon the Israel of God. Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear on my body17
the marks of Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren.18
Amen.

There was a rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously
every day. And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, full of sores, who desired to be fed20 21
with what fell from the rich man's table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. The poor22
man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried; 23
and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus in his bosom.
And he called out, `Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his24
finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.' But Abraham said, `Son,25
remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things;
but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. And besides all this, between us and you a great26
chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none
may cross from there to us.' And he said, `Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house, 27 28
for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.' But29
Abraham said, `They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.' And he said, `No, father30
Abraham; but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' He said to him, `If they do not31
hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if some one should rise from the dead.'"

What is Christian Stewardship?
Christian Stewardship is…
…learning how to be a responsible and concerned caretaker of Christ’s Church; it islearning how to enjoy Church life and be happy in Church work., for in Her dwells thefullness of the Spirit of God.
…our active commitment to use all our time, talent and treasure for the benefit ofhumankind in grateful acknowledgment of Christ’s redeeming love.
…caring for the needs of others.
…offering one’s self to God as He offered Himself to us.
…what a person does after saying “I believe…”, as proof of that belief.
…devotion and service to God and His Church as persons, as families, asdiocese/metropolis, as national Church and as Church universal.
