September Newsletter
SCC Missions
Welcome to September
September is month that has many meanings for many people, in America this is most notable for our nationwide pause on 9/11, a day that we will never forget.
But what if we knew today was going to be a day, like then, that so many would mourn and grieve over because of the disaster of death that came knocking on our door?
Would that change what we did, how we did it, or how much thought we put into the eternal salvation of those around us?
No? Yes?
...
Well it should, and we don't know when that day will be, for any of us, we only know of the reality of Hell, and the sanctity of Heaven.
Speak up, speak out, and don't worry about offending someone or getting it wrong. A chance to save a life, no matter how big nor small, is worth any taken offense no matter how tall.
