April 2016

Making a stewardship pledge is very helpful to the Finance Committee as it prepares the spending plan for MacArthur Park Lutheran Church for 2016-2017.  Just as in family finance, knowing what income is coming in helps to better plan for the year.

 

The MacArthur Park Lutheran Church and School financial year runs from Sept. 1-Aug. 31.

 

According to the March 2016 issue of the Thrivent Magazine:  It may sound like a Bible verse, but it’s not.  “God helps those who help themselves.” is actually credited to Aesop (the Greek storyteller known for his fables) and Benjamin Franklin.

 

MacArthur Park Lutheran Church member Robin Bullington volunteers every Tuesday afternoon at CAM (Christian Assistance Ministry.)  She says CAM is always in need of more volunteers!

 

The Lenten meal offerings for the five Wednesdays totaled $504.  The offerings help the youth attend the Disciple Project and confirmation camp.
