Summertime

Summer is a busy time. The months of June, July and August have the children going to camp, the students going to camp and on the World Changer’s mission trip and of course VBS. Summer brings a lot of activity and change to Alice Drive. Through these activities we are advancing the ministry and mission of Alice Drive to reach as many people as possible for Jesus Christ.

It is because of your giving to our ministry budget that we are able to spread Good News to as many people as possible. Your consistent and faithful financial support is also vital to the day-to-day operations of our church and ongoing ministry.

As we continue through the summer months, I want to encourage you to keep in mind the significance of giving and the eternal affect your offerings have on the lives of so many people. Through your continued support during the busy months of the summer, we are able to help as many people as possible take their next step toward Jesus Christ.

The Parable of the Rich Fool
13Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
14Jesus replied, "Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?" 15Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
16And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. 17He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.'
18"Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." '
20"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'
21"This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God."

Luke 12:13-21
