This year the theme for our our Generosity Campaign is "The Greatest of These: Love Never Ends," familiar and encouraging words drawn from that wonderful chapter 13 of the apostle Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians.
Your pledge, which is a good faith intention, enables us to budget and plan, but first and foremost it is an expression of discipleship, gratitude and love. We give with love in response to God's love in Christ Jesus. Paul closes his letter with this encouraging exhortation: "Keep alert, stand firm, be courageous, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love." 1 Corinthians 16:13-14. Good words for these days!
