Simplifying Life. Living Generously: Through our shared times, we desire to rediscover the life of abundance for all of God’s people. In doing so, God calls us to live a life of generosity. We will journey together as we learn the importance of simplifying our lives, reprioritizing our values, and growing in our capacity for generosity. There is no curriculum to purchase. We will provide six weekly video lessons from various guest speakers and discussion topics for the group.
