In our final week on money, we’re talking about the ways we become disempowered in our relationship with it, and ways to reclaim our creativity and power.

This weekend we spent time reminding ourselves of the themes and ideas held in the beatitudes. Following the Lectionary schedule, we read from the text found in Matthew, we sang together, and we joined in a prayer of blessing for ourselves and our community.

We jumped back in with our series on money, as we focused on Money Possibilities. Because we are icons made in the image of God, we are called to be generous, both individually and collectively, because God is generous. But what does generosity look like, and how can we live in the currents of generosity? This week, we reflect on “The 4 Ts” (Time, Talent, Treasure, and Testimony), to learn from Scripture how God shows up in those areas, and how we can challenge ourselves to show up for our city and the world.

This weekend, we got to hear from Dr. Angela Logan. Dr. Logan is an Associate Teaching Professor and the St. Andre Bessette Academic Director of the Master of Nonprofit Administration in the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame. Her research focuses on the intersection of gender, race, and nonprofit and philanthropic leadership. She is the first African American woman to earn a Ph.D. in Philanthropic Studies from the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy and this past week she was recognized as one of the two inaugural recipients of the Notre Dame Black Excellence Faculty Award.

We’re taking a quick break from our money series. The SBCC family has lost a couple of beloved members through death this week, and so many of us have lost something or someone we cherished over the last few years. Beyond the personal stories of loss, we keep waking up to news like the headlines describing a mass shooting in Monterey Park, CA on Sunday. This weekend we talked about loss, grief, and hope.

We hope you join us in celebrating the good news in our community, by reflecting on the good news you see in your own life, and that you find the opportunity to share that goodness with those around you.

New year, same old money problems. At least that’s how a lot of us feel. Anxiety, fear, and shame characterize the relationship so many of us have with money, but there are other possibilities for our relationship with it. We’re taking three weeks to talk about money problems, money plans, and money possibilities. 

This week’s episode also includes our Quarterly Financial Update and an update on The Tribune Project. 

There’s one more week to give to the Christmas Offering and you can give to that, to any of our other funds, or to our general fund at: southbendcitychurch.com/give. South Bend City Church is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. All donations are tax-deductible.
