Life
|
"In Him was life, and the life was the light of men."
- John 1:4

Meaning: As the Divine Word incarnate, Christ is also the source of life and
enlightenment. Because the Word is God, He is life: only God has life
in Himself.

LOANS
The church has been giving the congregation a financial report every year, for the parishioners to be aware
of the financial status of our church.
As was pointed out, the mortgage loan on the Sunday School building is the greatest expense. The church
does not benefit from the mortgage interest paid, as individuals do.
In an effort to reduce this monthly expense, we have been getting personal loans from individuals so as to
lower the interest expense on the church.
We look to you to help our church in this way by loaning the church any amount for as long a duration as
possible.
Please call Mr. Onsy Youssef, the church treasurer, at (732) 257-0902 for full details.
