In the November 19 issue, LinC takes a look at stewardship. This time of year, many charitable organizations ask for donations, and congregations ask members to pledge money for the next twelve months. Christians are called to be generous, but how do we make decisions about who gets our money and why? Key Scriptures: Numbers 18:21-30; Matthew 20:1-16; Luke 21:1-4; and James 1:17. In the November 26 issue, LinC explores ways to keep our holiday celebrations fresh. The upcoming movie Deja Vu and the new television show Daybreak both involve characters who re-live certain experiences. Many of us take a similar “been there, done that” approach to the holidays. Celebrating Christ’s coming this year won’t be any different than it was last year. But our Christmas celebrations can be relevant instead of rote, substantial instead of superficial.
