Summary: Of all the "virtue" words in the Bible, generosity is mentioned more than all the others combined. Generosity expresses love, kindness, compassion, and mercy in many ways. Researchers have found that generous people are happier and healthier and find deeper meaning in their lives than those who are not. You’ll be inspired by the stories of people in our congregation who have received or shown Uncommon Generosity so that we can all grow to become uncommonly generous.
