Bishop’s Note: August 11, 2016 – Bishop Menees is on Vacation

Bishop Menees is on vacation, enjoying some time with his family. He will be back in the office on August 23, and the Bishop’s Note articles will resume on August 25.

Meanwhile, we will continue to send the Catechism questions and the bishop’s calendar information.

Pax!

Catechism Questions: 323-324

323. As his steward, how does God require you to use your possessions?
As I am able, I should earn my own living so that I may set aside offerings for worship, give alms to the poor, and care for my dependents; and I should use all my possessions, gifts and abilities to glorify God, better the state of the creation, and love my neighbors. (Proverbs 19:17, 30:8-9; 1 Corinthians 16:2; Ephesians 4:28)

324. What is the minimum standard of giving for you as a Christian?
A tithe, which is ten percent of my income, is the minimum standard and goal of giving for the work of God; yet Jesus expects more than my minimum. (Deuteronomy 14:22-29; Luke 21:1-4)
