Stewards Detach Themselves: “For His sake I have accepted the loss of all things and I consider them so much rubbish, that I may gain Christ…” (Philippians 3:8b)

The first commandment says that we shall not put other gods before the Lord. True Stewards detach themselves from material possessions and consider them “rubbish”. It strengthens our relationship with Jesus and allows us to live more freely and joyfully.

Thank you to the entire community for coming out in support of the St. Mary School PTA at BAGS & BUCKS BINGO and at UNCORKED! Both of these events were tremendous and we couldn't be more grateful to all of you for being a special part of the St. Mary School family. The PTA raised over $10,000 at BINGO and an estimated $27,000 for UNCORKED. Now that is something to be proud of. Thank you again and God bless you.
