There Our Hearts Will Be

We don't always think about generosity as something that changes us. We usually think about it in terms of what we give and what our gifts make possible. And certainly, both matter. But Jesus had something more to say about generosity. He understood that what we choose to invest in has a way of shaping our hearts.

Somewhere along the way, we found ourselves sitting beside people who were once strangers but who have now become part of our lives. And before we knew it, we had become part of theirs. That's one of the wonderful things about church. It was never meant to be a collection of individuals who happen to worship in the same building. The church came into being because people discovered that following Jesus meant sharing life with one another.

Gratitude  Season at Saguaro

Saguaro is a community of generational generosity. Everyone has something to share! Generational Generosity recognizes  places of reciprocal relationships where as we are filled, we in turn give: of our treasure, our time, our gifts, and our skills so that the whole kin-dom of God may flourish on earth as it is in heaven. We give because it's who we are. We give because we acknowledge our need for each other, for God and to become whole.

So for ‘Sacred Recipes, Shared Gifts,’ as we reflect on our commitments and pledges for the coming year, you are invited to share what your commitment will be, but also to share your favorite crockpot, casserole, or dessert recipe! Together, may we ensure there is food on every table, every night, no matter how busy the day is and that Saguaro Christian Church continues its ministries of feeding folks mind, body and spirt as food does so much more than feed bellies.
