Generosity

Discipleship leads to generosity. As we grow in Christ, we learn to hold what God has entrusted to us with open hands. This includes money, but also our time, abilities, possessions, relationships, and care for creation. Generosity might mean making a financial gift, offering hospitality, mentoring a young person, visiting someone who is lonely, or sharing a skill. Generosity is discipleship put into practice.
