Generous Giving

We tackled a tough subject Sunday! It's the one many pastors cringe over sharing, but it's soooo critical to the advancement of God's purposes for His church and The Grove. Thanks for the many comments after the message - I'm of course assuming you are the ones who already practice giving generously.



As we move into the holidays and toward 09 I am challenged by the many dreams God has given us and what we will need to do to accomplish them with His help. As I mentioned Sunday, our giving will need to increase and be consistent.



Speaking of generosity - I had the privilege of driving down to Mansfield yesterday to drop off the 52 Operation Christmas Child boxes. The people were truly thankful and impressed that we all had the plastic ones. They said it made it much easier to pack. As you will see by the pictures they had a group of friendly volunteers waiting for me and before I knew it they were packing them 12-13 in a larger box and then out top the semi where 600 boxes had already been loaded.



Thank you Grovers for your generosity - we have a couple more opportunities before this holiday is over to be generous - be sure to be there Sunday as we join the Advent Conspiracy!
