Virtue of the Month
August/September - Teamwork
Teamwork is the ability to cooperate with others in carrying out a common goal.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their hard work. For if one of them should fall, the other one can raise his partner up. But how will it be with just the one who falls when there is not another to raise him up?
October - Friendship
Friendship is the spiritual bond between two persons formed by mutual admiration, respect, benevolence, support, and gift of self. The ability to form friendships is one of the greatest virtues.

November - Forgiveness
Forgiveness is the virtue by which we pardon those who have offended us in any way and then forget the offense.
Colossian 3:13 Bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.
December - Generosity
Generosity is the virtue by which we freely and cheerfully share something of our own with others.
Hebrews 13:16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have; God is pleased by sacrifices of that kind.
January - Punctuality
Punctuality is “being on time” for our engagements, commitments, duties, and assignments; and in general for all our affairs.
