Series: Our Money Story
October 11, 2026 | Rev. Brooke Heerwald Steiner
This week, we begin a new stewardship series called Our Money Story. Whether we realize it or not, each of us carries stories about money. These stories are shaped by our families, our experiences, our fears, and our hopes. And one of the most powerful stories we carry is the question of whether there will be enough. In Exodus 16, the Israelites are newly freed from Egypt, hungry in the wilderness and wondering if there will be enough food for tomorrow. God responds with enough manna for each day. This Sunday, we’ll consider what it means to move from a story of scarcity toward a story of abundance, trusting that there is enough when we receive what we need and resist the urge to hoard what could be shared. I hope you will join in the conversation!

Series Information
We all have a money story, whether we recognize it or not. Perhaps we are living from a story of fear or shame. Or a story that the church is dying and no longer relevant. Or a story that our actions won’t have an impact. Or a story that we don’t have enough. Where might God be speaking a new narrative into the limited ones we have told ourselves? This series invites us to discover and tell our money stories in light of God’s money story of liberation and justice, and to transform our practices into more full expressions of who we are and what we believe.
