End of the Year Donations
Are you looking to make a charitable-end-of-year
tax contributions? Look no further…
Saint Maron Church needs you!
The tax system in the USA is designed in such a way
that greatly benefits non-profit organizations. Contributions given to the church, for instance, are considered
tax deductible. The deductions help lower the individual’s total gross unadjusted income. As a result, the donor, by making a donation to the church, helps the community as well as his/her cause by lowering his/her taxable income. The US tax system extends the privilege of
making tax deductible contributions to all brackets of
income earners.

Brothers and sisters,
I myself, Paul, appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ— I who am humble
when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away! — I ask that when I am present I need not show boldness by daring to oppose those who think we are acting according
to human standards. Indeed, we live as human beings, but we do not wage war according to
human standards; for the weapons of our warfare are not merely human, but they have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle raised
up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to obey Christ. We are
ready to punish every disobedience when your obedience is complete. Look at what is before your eyes. If you are confident that you belong to Christ, remind yourself of this, that
just as you belong to Christ, so also do we. Now, even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be
ashamed of it. I do not want to seem as though I am trying to frighten you with my letters.
For they say, “His letters are weighty and strong but his bodily presence is weak, and his
speech contemptible.” Let such people understand that what we say by letter when absent,
we will also do when present.
Praise be to God always!

The evangelist writes,
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the
sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was
before me.’ I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be
revealed to Israel.” And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He
on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I myself
have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
This is the truth! Peace be with you.
