TODD’S TAKE
Good morning and welcome to our worship services this morning. If you are a guest with us this morning our prayer is that you are blessed by our time of worship and we invite you to talk to one of us about how God is working in the Park Avenue Church.
 
As we can see on the reverse side of the Messenger, there’s lots going on and many ways to serve and connect. If you have any questions about any activity or ministry feel free to contact a minister and we will be glad to point you in the right direction.
 
A special day of community service is coming up next month called The Big Event. The date is Saturday, March 22 from 8:00-1:00. Sign up to part of a PACOC work group at pacoc.net/bigevent
 
In our sermon time this morning I will continue developing our Covenant Sunday Theme, Your Word is Truth. We’ve talked about the truth about God and the truth about ourselves. Today we will go to Scripture to discover the truth about money.
