November 26, 2014 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 19 ASB supports choir in upcoming ‘Messiah’ performance Atlantic Stewardship Bank is lending its support to the Cathedral Choir as its members prepare for their upcoming performance of “Messiah” by George Frederick Handel. The performance will be held on Saturday, Dec. 6 at the Hawthorne Gospel Church in Hawthorne. Proceeds from the evening’s performance, which begins at 7 p.m., will be used to benefit the Market Street Mission in Morristown. The Market Street Mis- sion helps the homeless, helpless, and hopeless lead responsible and productive lives through a structured program that meets their physical, emotional, and spiri- tual needs. Atlantic Stewardship Bank’s donation is part of the bank’s unique tithing program that defines ASB’s mis- sion. Since the bank began in 1985, the tithing program has resulted in donations in excess of $8 million. “Tithing is a biblical principle, meaning to give or devote one-tenth to God,” said Atlantic Stewardship Bank President and CEO Paul Van Ostenbridge. “The thought of a bank giving away 10 percent of its profits each year is highly unusual, especially in the current economy. Our founders were so deeply committed to using a portion of profits to serve those in need that the tithing program is incorporated into our bylaws.” Atlantic Stewardship Bank maintains banking locations in Midland Park, Montville, North Hale- don, Pequannock, Ridgewood, Waldwick, Westwood, Wyckoff, two offices in Hawthorne, and two offices in Wayne. Established in 1985, ASB is a full-service com- munity bank serving both individuals and businesses. The bank is a subsidiary of Stewardship Financial Cor- poration trading on the NASDAQ under the symbol SSFN. The bank’s website is www.asbnow.com.
