Things happen at Redemption because of generosity of time, talent, and treasures (money). This month, we take a look at a recent mission trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, to assist Helping His Hands Ministries in the aftermath of devastating wildfires in the region.

Depending on your background, a time of giving at church may inspire a multitude of thoughts and emotions. If Redemption is your church home, make it a goal to be radical in your giving, making your non-church friends think you're a little weird, because, as a follower of Jesus, you should be a little weird compared to everyone else. Be completely generous as God has been completely generous to you buy freely giving you salvation and see just what God can do with that dollar He has given you.
