Disciples Generous Response
"There are many lives waiting to hear the redeeming words of the gospel, or to be lifted from hopelessness by the hands of loving servants. But they will be lost to you without the generous response of disciples who share from their own bounty that others may know the joys of the kingdom." D&C 162:7a
God gives and loves graciously and generously! We know that all we are and all we have are gifts from God. As followers of Jesus, our whole-life commitment is in response to God's wonderful generosity. Being generous is about aligning our priorities with God's priorities, aligning our hearts with God's heart.
What is our response as disciples of Jesus? In simple terms, we are called to respond with thankfulness and share with others as generously as God has shared with us.

If you are a member of the Topeka Congregation, the Community of Christ membership registration system (Shelby) will automatically select Topeka as "My Home Congregation" when you enroll in eTithing.
These cards are ideal for parents and grandparents who tithe online through eTithing, but still want to model the importance of giving to children and grandchildren. Each card highlights all five Mission Initiatives. When the offering plate comes around, just drop in a card, and the kids will see the importance of giving. You will find the eTithing Offering Cards in the back of the sanctuary. Please ask the Deacon in Charge if you need assistance.
