Money and Church

Sunday was "budget Sunday" for us at Eastside, and it was without a doubt the most uplifting service of that kind I have ever been part of. From the get go, I sensed that nearly all our folks were able to set aside that part of us that usually tightens up when we talk about money at church and focus on things like a God who loves us, our many blessings in Jesus, all the good our financial gifts do, and even how God grows us through our giving as we allow Him to work in our hearts.

It was a challenging day for some of our Eastside family, but our shepherds all were spirit-led in their comments, and I keep hearing of families who are praying, asking God to help them grow in their giving. What a great day Sunday was!! I'm really looking forward to seeing God work among us over the next weeks and months.
