Stewardship Message: Time, Talent & Treasure When the Son of Man comes in glory, may we be among those who have fed the hungry, welcomed the stranger, and clothed the naked. For Jesus tells us clearly that it is those who have demonstrated good stewardship by sharing their gifts with the less fortunate who will receive God’s blessing and inherit the kingdom _____________________________________________
The Annual Ecumenical Service will be held on Monday, November 21, at 7:00pm at the Rochester Christian Churhc. This is an opportunity for the community to come together in worship and thank the Lord for the many blessings.

While in the gulf ministering to the victims of hurricane Katrina and since my return, it has become clear to me that He is leading my ministry in a new direction. Therefore, I am tendering my resignation as Director of Christian Formation for the Church of St. Jude effective December 31, 2005. I want all of you to know that I have grown not only as a minister in the church during my time here with you but as an individual as well. I have experienced a deeper conversion of heart as a result of my time at the Church of St. Jude. My life has been forever enriched and I know the blessings will continue to unfold as I move forward. When Fr. Bill hired me, he told me good ministry was never to be developed dependent upon the minister. I have done my best to follow his instructions by the role model he has provided for me. My prayer for all of the good people of the Church of St. Jude is one of peace and prosperity. May all come to know the peace of Christ, which surpasses human understanding and may God let His face shine upon you always! In Christ’s peace, Laura A. Megown Sunday 9:10 a 11:45 a
