September 2025: “Money, Stewardship and Generosity” by the Rev. Christa von Zychlin
(September) Session One: Money – What do we treasure? From Genesis through Revelation, gold, silver and jewels serve as icons of God’s goodness. And yet, the love of money is a powerful source of argument, lies and literal enslavement. King Solomon, famously, chose wisdom over treasure. Jesus, leaning on his mother’s values, teaches his disciples to dig deep for real treasure.
