Generosity
Sacred Commitments
“Where you go, I will go; where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God.” – Ruth 1:16
In the book of Ruth, we find one of the most powerful declarations of faith in all of Scripture. Ruth’s commitment to Naomi is more than loyalty—it is a sacred act of trust in God. Her words remind us that our commitments, when rooted in love and faith, can open the way for God’s redeeming work.
This October, we will journey together through our generosity series, Sacred Commitments. As we explore the stories of Naomi, Ruth, the Kinsman Redeemer, and Boaz, we will discover how choices made in trust and love become sacred acts that shape the future. Just as Ruth’s faithfulness bore fruit beyond what she could imagine, so our commitments to God can transform lives and communities.
Generosity is one of these sacred commitments. It is not simply an obligation but a spiritual practice—like prayer, study, and service—that draws us closer to God. When we give, we reflect the heart of Christ who gave everything for us, and we join in God’s mission to love our neighbors in extraordinary ways.
On Sunday, October 5th, we will begin this sacred journey together. Below is a prayer card that we hope you will use over the coming weeks. Pray for our church, our community, and our world. Ask God how you are being called to take the next step in your journey of generosity.
Then, on Estimate of Giving Sunday, October 26th, you will be invited to bring forward your Estimate of Giving Card as a sign of your sacred commitment to God. These commitments are not just about planning for ministry—they are about deepening our discipleship and allowing God to use our faithfulness to bring new life.
We hope you will join us, in person or online, as we discover together how sacred commitments lead us into God’s abundance.

This is a tool designed to hep you find your current income and the percentage that your giving represents and then prayerfully consider taking the next step towards a tithe or whichever level God is leading you to give
