The Big Givers
The sermon for Sunday, October 22 will look at the ways in which we are generous givers. It is a Sunday in which we are celebrating the Outreach Ministry of our church. We will take some time sharing all the programs our church is involved in making a difference in the lives of people in our area, and around the world.
The reach of our church is wide. We are a congregation that realized we cannot be satisfied with our own comfort when there are people suffer.
What have you done for someone else that made a big difference to you as well as to them?
When did reaching out beyond yourself become transformative?
Some people believe that our thinking leads to our action. What we believe and what we hold as a value directs our behavior.
Another way to look at this is that sometimes our actions lead to new thinking. We learn more about Christian compassion than when we reach out than when we read about it in a book.
Sunday, we will consider the ways in which our faith and our action come together in outreach ministry.
If you have thoughts to share publically, please leave a comment with this post. For personal thoughts (intended only for me) write me at charlesschuster@fcfumc.net
I look forward to your ideas
