Stories to Tell and Gifts to Share

I can usually talk about just about anything! I especially love talking about God. When I get to talk about how God made this earth complete with hummingbirds and mosquitoes, strawberries and zucchini, I can’t help but smile! When I get to bend my head in prayer with a member or a guest at our food pantry, I am in love with God.

This year our annual Stewardship Emphasis is all about talkin’ and givin’! Two of my favorite things! The themes for each of the four Sundays of the emphasis are: Graceful Living, Grateful Living, Giving to the Church and Cheerful Sacrifice.

I don’t usually like to talk about money, but Jesus sure did. Jesus talked about money more than anything else in all of scripture! – Well maybe except love. I guess it behooves us to take a few Sundays and examine God’s economy and how we might fit into God’s plan. Join us as we celebrate the stories and gifts of the members and church family of Abiding Love!
