11-12-17: Generous Giving

https://soundcloud.com/ncclaguna/generous-giving-by-reverend-rodrick-echols

Last Sunday, we celebrated the men and women creating pathways for our growth, maturation, and hope in life; we remembered the saints past and present! In a real sense, we are ALL saints! How comforting and reassuring it is to rest in the hands of an inclusive, participating God. The Holy One simply requires we show up and shine forth through our talents, gifts and time. Want to express your vocal and musical chops on the worship team? Care for the positive and spiritual development of our youth? Interested in contributing to the long-term growth of our blessed church? How about joining our church's Greeter Team? Something I missed- your ideas? Fill out your commitment card; let's have a conversation about making space for you in the work!
