Watchful Stewards of His Grace

"But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins." Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God."

1 Peter 4:7-10 NKJV

Rev. Veronica Roesly
Speaker

Saint Francis Retreat Center
703 Main Street, DeWitt, Michigan

Our 2023 MWR Theme is: “Watchful Stewards of God’s Grace.” Ministry Wives/Women, we have been called to our positions with the awesome privilege to serve God. Each one of us has been given a spiritual gift to use when we became stewards of His grace. We are commissioned to be watching and praying for the needs of our families, the church body and the unsaved community/world. Let’s serve God with diligence and show fervent unconditional love to His Body - the Church and extend His love to the lost souls around us. Love will empower us to forgive ourselves and others; be hospitable and be in fellowship with each other; and to be non-judgmental about the faults/failures of others. Praise God for His all sufficient Grace that enables us to be good stewards who serve.
