Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

Time, Talent, Treasure and Tresses

As some wise sage has said, "Stewardship is everything you do after you say, 'I believe.'"
We are called to be stewards of our whole lives: financial resources, relationships, the planet, our time, the gifts and skills God has given us, our bodies, etc. A small group of folks at CtK, inspired by another member who wrote about donating her hair to Locks of Love at Christmas in 2009, decided to grow our hair out for a year and cut it off at Valentine's Day this year. And we did, this past Sunday, February 13th. Below are some pictures. All the hair was sent either to Locks of Love or to Pantene Beautiful Lengths (a similar program that requires only 8" and not 10" of hair).
It's a simple way to give, and didn't cost us any money, but we hope that our gifts will have a big impact on those who receive them.
