The Word Proclaimed - Proverbs 2:1-6 (NRSV)

My child, if you accept my words
and treasure up my commandments within you,
making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
if you indeed cry out for insight,
and raise your voice for understanding;
if you seek it like silver,
and search for it as for hidden treasures
then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

identify contributions simply by donor name. Donations made

case of cash donations, I assign those to the first name appearing

distinguish donors when we have persons sharing a common name.
