What's Happening at UMC Madison 1/17/23 | |
Abundance is the realization you have everything you need at your fingertips, while scarcity causes us to wonder if we really have enough to live a happy life. Throughout his ministry, Jesus lived an abundant life, one filled with deep human connections and void of items that can lead to worry. During the month of January, take a journey with us to begin a shift from scarcity to a joyful existence of abundance. | |
