Worship Series for November 3 – 24
Generosity is not just about material wealth—it’s about a way of living, trusting that God provides enough for all. In this worship series, “Generous Spirit,” we will explore moments in Scripture where God’s provision, mercy, and calling invite people to give of themselves in surprising ways. From a widow who shares her last meal with Elijah, to God’s mercy for Jonah and Nineveh, Isaiah’s bold response to God’s call, and Jeremiah’s promise of a new covenant, these stories remind us that generosity is at the heart of God’s work in the world.
Through these texts, we are invited to reflect on how living generously can transform our lives and our community. As we enter our 2025 Annual Giving Campaign, we’ll consider how God is calling us to offer our time, talents, and resources, trusting that every gift—no matter the size—can create new possibilities for hope and renewal.
