GIVE GENEROUSLY AND GRATEFULLY

        People in our culture have much to learn about the Creator, Sustainer, Judge and Redeemer of all that is!  We are a people in need of Christian instruction about ownership and stewardship, about giving and receiving, about blessing and sharing and celebrating!  The generosity of disciples is rooted in the generosity of God. What we know is that as disciples encounter the Spirit of the Living God, transformation takes place and we want to grow in our generosity by first pledging, and then moving toward the tithe and eventually pouring ourselves out in service to God.  Disciples of Jesus give generously and they love doing it!  The implications for stewardship are immense.
