“Circle of Generosity: Path -and Response- to Transformation”

"I want to be a Christian who has compassion instead of judging. I want us to be a Christian community- and I believe we are- that reaches out to those other 9, even or especially, those who need healing of mind, body, spirit, and relationship but have been excluded and broken to the point that they’ve stopped even seeking community, afraid to trust. I want us to offer a place of healing for the broken human parts, a place where people can find their way into the circle of gratitude/generosity... where we learn to let gratitude displace our fears, we express that gratitude to God and give freely; our fears are healed and replaced by trust. I want each of us to experience this as often as possible. Pledging each year is one way to do that: how much or how little you pledge doesn’t matter. What matters is that you do it out of gratitude and let the circle transform you spiritually and in community!"
