"Generosity and our Spiritual Life" March 22, 2015

Jill Fleming

Generosity within the individual and the community is aligned with an inner sense of abundance - the feeling that we have enough to share and to share well. As a "Breakthrough Congregation" do we at Westside still possess an inner sense of abundance, a sense of the possible? Is our current culture reflective of the financial generosity of the recent past? Or are we showing signs common to other UUs and many of the mainline Protestant denominations who give much less of their income to their religious communities than many more conservative denominations? If so, why is that? Jill Fleming, chair of the Stewardship Committee, will explore the sensitive topic of money and how it impacts our beloved community.
