Picture

Generosity is at the heart of our Christian Faith, and your generosity is lifting our church to new heights. A year ago, we encouraged one another to defy the "gravity" that pulls us away from generosity. Our budget is improving, people are engaging in the church's life, and we are increasing our community's
food security and beyond. This year, we continue to encourage one another to share all that we are and all that we have with God, especially when the world pulls us the other way. We also will celebrate the joy and grace when we live generously together. It will be an incredible journey.

The journey begins in worship on October 20, 2024. Join us at Church of the Pines as we embark on a two-week journey to lift our hearts and discover the joy of generosity. Each Sunday we will explore how we can live out our faith through generosity.
