What if generosity is about more than money?
When we hear the word generosity, many of us immediately think of giving money. But in the way of Jesus, generosity is much bigger than our wallets. It's about learning to hold our time, our gifts, our possessions—even our lives—with open hands.
This Sunday we continue our series, Practicing the Way: Ordinary People. Everyday Habits. Transforming Grace.
In Week 6, we'll meet Lydia (Acts 16:11–15, 40), whose open heart and open home helped nurture one of the earliest Christian communities. Her story reminds us that generosity is one of God's ordinary means of grace. As we practice living with open hands, we discover that generosity isn't about having enough—it's about trusting the God who is enough.
Join us for Worship at one of our Parish congregations to discover why generosity means trusting God enough to hold everything with open hands.
