At Christmas we remember the most amazing act of generosity in the history of the world: God sent his Son, Jesus, that we might live through him (1 John 4v9). One way Christians respond to God’s generosity is to live generously themselves. Our generosity prayer every Sunday reminds us of this:
Gracious God, everything we have comes from you. As we remember who you are and all you have done for us, enable us to be truly generous—with our money, our time, and all we are and have. Use what we give for your glory and the good of our city. Amen.
During this Christmas season, as we reflect on God’s “indescribable gift” to us in Jesus, may we in turn seek out ways to care for others by being generous with all we are and have.
In hope,
Pastor Bijan
Please donate toys and winter warmth items for our neighbors at Frederick Douglass Houses for their Three Kings Day celebration. We are seeking new toys for children, as well as new jackets, coats, gloves, hats, and scarves for children and adults. Please bring your donations to the W83 lobby during regular hours.
We are looking for leaders and hosts to help start a new cycle of Pilot Community Groups in 2026!
Pilot Community Groups are brand-new Community Groups (CGs) that commit to meeting for a minimum of seven weeks for the purpose of building gospel community. Pilot Community Groups are especially designed for people new to RWS or who have never joined a CG. Like ongoing CGs, they bring people together for Bible discussion, prayer, fellowship, and mutual encouragement to live out the Christian faith.
