Financial Update
We are grateful that Stone Hill Church’s mission continues to thrive by God’s grace as dedicated followers of Jesus are built up in the Princeton area, in the Northeast, and around the world. This is made possible by the Holy Spirit, your service, and your generous giving. For the remainder of the calendar year, we will communicate with the congregation so that you have the most up-to-date information.
As of September 30, we have received $1,624,000 in gifts and income this year. Thank you, and we praise God for his provision! Our total expenses for January through September 30 are $2,398,000.
To date, giving is slightly less and expenses considerably more compared to the same time period last year. The church has encountered a few one-time and unexpected expenses this year. In so far as you are able, please consider giving generously above and beyond your planned giving to help the church meet these particular needs.
You can give online, via mail, or in the offering boxes in the back of the sanctuary. On behalf of the elder board, thank you for your year-end support of our ministry!

Study
Three general questions for digging deeper:
- What does this text teach us about God?
- What does this text teach us about ourselves?
- If this text is true, what should we do to obey this teaching?
Questions specific to the October 18 sermon from Ecclesiastes 5:1-7:
- Why does the persistent presence of oppression in the world make life so fragile?
- Qoheleth tells us that some work is motivated by envy. Can you provide examples of how you have seen this in the real world?
- Why is loneliness so difficult? Do you feel lonely or know people that are lonely?
- Are you more prone to do less work or more work? How do you find contentment in your work?
- Share how you have watched the changing fortunes of popularity?
- How can you focus your life on work that can last for eternity?
