Generosity is a practice that has all sorts of research-backed benefits. From increased health and happiness to lowered stress and better relationships, making generosity a habit helps not only us, but our communities. (Check out this article for more information!) https://fullfocus.co/habit-of-generosity/

This stewardship season, we are focusing on being generous—not just for the practical purposes of creating our church budget, but for considering the ways that generosity can help us and our communities thrive. 

You are invited to sign up to receive daily email devotions during this time (from October 7^th through November 3^rd) – you can sign up for that here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVGZ96e9TjJ15r0jZ1YB1xlxNj5IMvdetnlkxujzJRvnBmbA/viewform?usp=sf_link

Every week of our Generous Stewardship Series, we will have a mission opportunity to put your generosity into action:

This season, while you consider your gifts to the church through your annual giving commitment, we invite you to also practice being generous in your everyday life through words and actions. May we find ways to be generous!

Big Top, Big Hearts: Building Dreams Together for Families Like Sarah and Manny

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and become a part of an amazing opportunity! Under our big top, we believe everyone deserves to have a safe and affordable home. When you donate to Habitat for Humanity, you impact families right in our community. You make a difference to families like Sarah and Manny’s family. As Sarah said in her video,

“You don’t know the real impact. You get to come, and you get to hammer, or you make a donation, or you get to meet a person. But, the impact you’re having over our whole lives is huge.”

To hear more about the impact Habitat has made on this special family, click this link: https://habitatmetrodenver.org/sarah-manuel/

By Sun., Oct. 6, 2024, please donate by:

• Writing a check to Washington Park UMC with “Habitat” in the memo line
• Sending a donation through Venmo to “michelle-hoskins-17” (who is our church treasurer) and place “Habitat” in the “What’s this for?” box
• Contacting Carol Nelson at 303.810.4635 to make other donation arrangements

Let’s come together with big hearts under the big top and build dreams — one brick at a time!

Watch this video and help us build dreams together for Habitat!
