Grace Notes News & Events, 10/13 ed.

WORSHIP – October 19th

This week we continue our stewardship series, “Beautiful and Abundant,” with week three: “Is It Fair?”

We’ll reflect on Luke 3:10–14 and James 2:1–7, exploring how fairness and faith intersect in our daily lives.
Fairness is about more than rules—it’s about equity, inclusion, and care for one another. As we think about how we use what God has given us, we’ll ask: Are our financial practices and stewardship values lifting others up?

Is It Fair?

Scripture: Luke 3:10-14, James 2:1-7

9:00 am and 10:30 am Traditional

Rev. Barry Dundas

8:00 am and 10:15 am Common Grace Modern
