Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity

We are halfway through our churchwide emphasis Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity.  Last Sunday, our topic was "Wisdom and Finance."  We looked closely at the biblical principles of money management and learned how they apply to our daily lives.  We also reviewed some common pitfalls and cultural traps and discovered how we can avoid them.  If you were unable to be with us, you can find the sermon message and two financial planning worksheets in the Sermons section of our website.  Be sure to ask for your Six Key Financial Principles, which were distributed to the congregation.

This Sunday our topic will be "Cultivating Contentment."  If you ever feel a strong desire to have more, or if you ever look at your surroundings and feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things, then you don't want to miss this Sunday's message!  We will address head-on our human tendency to accumulate possessions and wealth and learn how to consciously change our ways.  We also will be handing out a special tool that will help us to re-focus daily on contentment and simplicity.  We hope you will join us!
