- Don't look for a reason or excuse NOT to give but look for an opportunity TO give.
- How are we practicing "grace giving" in our lives and how are we teaching this to our children?
- What type of givers are we...reluctant or cheerful?

- Couples only Social - Saturday, September 18th at 5:00 PM. Let Ashley know ASAP if you will need childcare (ages 10 months - 6 years). There is a max of 10 children and a $5.00 deposit per family is required. The thought today was to do pizza...no casseroles (just my 2 cents worth)!
