Stewardship Corner<br />
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things<br />
shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33). Your heavenly Father knows and understands<br />
your needs, and wants the very best for you. The way to experience His blessings<br />
in every aspect of life is to place His priorities first in your spiritual life, first in<br />
your time, first in your service, first in your planning, and first in your Tithe and<br />
Combined Budget giving. Everything you need will be added to your life as God<br />
comes first in your priorities. Jesus prioritized you in His plan of salvation. Won’t<br />
you prioritize Him first in everything you do?<br />

appreciated. Kindly mark on your offering envelope, “OAA Building Fund.”<br />

This can be done through a one time gift, systematic monthly gifts, or the solicitation<br />
