Inspiring generosity: The Generosity Project engages toddlers to centenarians
Members of all ages from the Northern Texas-Northern Louisiana Synod Latino network participated in the Generosity Project workshop.
Sharing God’s gifts with one another through stewardship is an integral part of the Lutheran faith. But sometimes the idea of stewardship gets misunderstood, equated simply with monetary giving rather than a generosity of much more—time, spirit, love. Linda Staats is trying to change that with the Generosity Project, a new stewardship resource she authored for ELCA congregations.
“Stewardship has gotten a bad rap, so a lot of people are using the word ‘generosity,’ ” she said. “Stewardship is that larger umbrella, and generosity is a part of it.” Read the article in Living Lutheran, and find out more about the Generosity Project in the Grand Canyon Synod and register for upcoming lab dates.
