'The Generous Life' Watch Party & Lunch
Thursday July 17th, 11:30AM - 1PM
In partnership with our friends at Thrivent, we are hosting a watch part of 'The Generous Life’ webinar with Pastor Rob Ketterling, complete with lunch and a gathering of ministry leaders in Dane County.
How do we know if we're truly generous? For most of us, we want to be known as someone who lived a generous life. Through Pastor Rob's lived experience in ministry, you will see God's faithfulness can take the most unlikely story and launch a movement of generosity.
Join us in generosity by bringing a food donation for the Extended Hands food pantry.
