RegistrationsSUMMER OF GENEROSITY: Loving Generously. The body of Christ functions as a safety net/ “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers” (Galatians 6:10). Because Christ has rescued us, we carry on his saving ministry as we seek to do good to all people — especially, but not limited to, those in the church. He’s called each one of us to be a part of the safety net in some way for those he’s placed in our lives.
