A Reflection On Giving To The Church
“To most people, the subject of giving money to
the church and to the poor is a sensitive topic.
Many people will ignore and place this topic on
the back burner, never really coming to terms with
it. That is what I did for many years. Giving was
not important to me until I realized it was
important to God. In fact, I believe it is one of the
gateways to heaven and by not giving what is
required of us may put our salvation in jeopardy.
Heaven is big time. I want to do whatever it takes
to get there because it’s forever.”

LEADING TEENS CLOSER TO CHRIST
Welcome to our visitors! We extend a warm
greeting of welcome to all those visiting and
hope that your time with us has been a time of
spiritual renewal in God’s Grace. May you have
safe travels. God Bless!
“It’s not just about giving and how much one
should give but also about doing God’s will and
getting to heaven. To accomplish this will take
one’s time, talent and treasure.”
These two passages were taken from “Why &
How Much Money Should I Be Giving To The
Church, To The Poor. Using Three Pillars of
Scripture” By Ben Scott

Your Place
and the many Parishioners
of St Joan of Arc.
Did you know one of the best ways to stay connected to our
parish is through our monthly e-newsletter? With so many
things going on here at St. Joan of Arc sometimes it feels
impossible to keep up with it all. In the beginning of the month
we publish an e-newsletter that is sent out to each parishioner
who signed up or requested to receive it. We make a special
effort to choose 5 or 6 things we feel you would want to know
about or be reminded of. Each newsletter is short and sweet
taking no more than 10-15 minutes to read through. If you
haven’t already, please consider signing up today to try it out
for a month or two. If you decided it’s not for you, there is an
unsubscribe button on each email that allows you to easily stop
future newsletters.
You can easily sign up on our website at www.stjoanhershey.org or just let Jackie Abel know, 533-7168 x121, that you
would like to enroll.
