Celebrating Canvass Sunday

Usually sometime in early Spring. This service is often coordinated with the canvass committee, to include some of the concepts that the canvass is focusing on that year. Themes include: stewardship of the community; giving as spiritual practice; abundance/scarcity; valuing what we say is important to us; the role of money in our lives; giving/receiving; Luke 12:34: "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
