Courageous Generosity is a daily practice.

Jesus celebrated the widow who gave two small pennies in the temple offering. He also once told a rich young man to sell his possessions and give it all to the poor.  So... are we supposed to give a little or a lot? Mark 12:41-44 and Mark 10:17-21 tell us that's not really the point, but paint a picture of courageous generosity as the full surrender of what we have to God's will and purpose. 

That's what we as a church family commit to practice day by day with the gifts given and entrusted to us to steward. One of the ways we've done that the past 10 years is to put the Love Bus in motion five days per week (free of charge) to support innovative mental health services offered through the Farm at Penny Lane (provided by Center for Excellence in Community Mental Health). Transportation is an essential part of making these life-changing services accessible to people in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Community, but the Love Bus is aging and becoming less reliable. 

Whatever amount you're able to give will help us reach our goal of reliable transportation and support for the many community partners we help move around town! Community Home Trust and CEF: Community Empowerment Fund are even a couple more who regularly rely on the wheels of the Love Bus going round and round.

Through a grant from the Strowd Roses Foundation and individual gifts, we're already about 60% funded for a new vehicle. Your one-time or recurring gift of any amount will help close the gap and keep meeting these transportation needs in our community!  Have questions or connections to car dealers who would want to help support this work, email Pastor Justin.
