Administrative Calendar with Room Reservations >>
Stewardship Thought: Do you name your dollars before the month begins? Or do you wait around and survey the damage later on? Give every dollar a name—Tithe, Church Budget offering, mortgage, credit card bill, groceries, car repairs. Name them all. Once you have a plan and a purpose, you’ll be well on your way to creating financial peace, changing your family forever, and pleasing God by prioritizing and being obedient to Malachi 3:8-12.
