TODAY is Giving Tuesday!

‘Generosity in All Places’ is the theme of the year during our quadrennium of ‘Generosity in All Seasons.’ Today is the day to live into this theme! To counter Black Friday and Cyber Monday, let us put our treasures where our hearts are. Let’s be people who care less about things, and more about the heart, soul and need of our neighbors as Jesus commanded.
