Serve & Grow

Giving

Giving is integral to spiritual growth. As we become aware of God’s generous grace in our lives, we experience thankfulness. Deep thanksgiving translates into our own desire to be generous: wanting to help God with what God is trying to get done in the world.

It is possible to give without loving, but it is impossible to love without giving. The offering acceptable to God is our gratitude that we show in how we share with others. Because we love God. Because God loved us first. Because we love our neighbors, who all are God’s children.
