March 2, 2025: The Gift Economy
Rev. Melissa Sparks with Wes Stroupe & Greg Williamson
In a time when trust in institutions, rights, and even our neighbors feels fragile, where can we place our faith?
Inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer’s essay The Serviceberry, we will explore an alternative vision of trust—one rooted in
reciprocity, generosity, and shared commitment. Join us as we celebrate the abundance we create together and reflect
on what we choose to support in uncertain times
