Grace in Our Contributions
Doing our part goes hand in hand with the grace God extends to us. Each of us has received grace, and with that grace comes the responsibility to extend it towards others.

As we offer our help and support, we also need to take a moment to consider how we can impart grace to everyone we meet. Responding with understanding and love, even in small ways, creates a ripple effect that can touch many lives. Let’s remember that our contributions, big or small, matter deeply when offered with grace.

In moments of uncertainty, we have God’s Word to reassure us that He is always with us. Let’s rely on Him in our efforts and move forward in faith, knowing that we are part of His divine plan.
