All who have trusted in Christ possess the priceless bounty of “every spiritual blessing in Christ”.  Yet many continue to live like spiritual paupers.   Paul writes this epistle to make Christians more aware of
their heavenly wealth in Christ and to motivate them to draw upon those resources in their earthly walk.

JUNE IS BREAKFAST MONTH at the Ministries Center.  Examples would be pancake & waffle mix, syrup, biscuit mix, muffin mix, coffee, tea, and juice boxes.  Thank you!
