The Sunday Spotlight this week goes out to many of you! Lydia's clients have implemented nine action teams recently to benefit food pantries. That’s $2,250, plus all the volunteer hours, going directly to help people that are experiencing food insecurities during this season. If you still have Action Teams available in 2025 there are many needs in the community that you can help meet. This is what living generously is all about. In the same way, faith by itself, if not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:17 #livegenerously #ACTionteams #brickstreetfinancialgroup #foodpantry #foodinsecurity
