WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR CHURCH?

Generosity is a term we rarely use. Some may think it is reserved for only the wealthy. Actually, generosity is not about our bank accounts, it is about our hearts. Jesus’ response to the widow’s offering shows this. Generosity reflects God’s nature. Our generosity impacts eternity, as people find and experience God through the ministries of our church.

Ministry Flows From the Heart and is Made Possible by Your Generosity “And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God.” 1 Peter 2:5 NLT
