- Stories of Sharing – Part 1 with Pastor Ryan Brodin
- During the month of October we will be highlighting stories of sharing from our Sharing to Make a Difference Campaign. Nineteen individuals, couples, or families were given $100 to give away as they saw fit. Over the summer those gifts were made, and the stories have been collected. Come hear some of these stories in more detail as those who participated in this sharing tell us what they did with the $100, why they gave where they gave, and how it felt to share.
