Step by Step: A Daily Devotional for the Season of Generosity
Due to last week’s blizzard, some households may not have received their copy of Step by Step: Reflections on Faith and Generous Living in the mail. To be sure everyone has access, we’re pleased to share the devotional here as a downloadable resource.
Step by Step is part of St. John’s annual Pathways to Generosity program, which invites us at the beginning of the year to pause, pray, and reflect on how our finances reflect our values. Conversations about money can feel complicated or even uncomfortable, especially when we’re balancing daily needs, long-term hopes, and a desire to support the communities and causes we care about. This devotional offers a gentle, grounded way into that reflection.
The booklet includes fifteen weekday readings, each pairing scripture with thoughtful reflections written by members of the St. John’s community. Taken together, they encourage us to consider generosity not simply as a financial exercise, but as a spiritual practice—one rooted in gratitude, trust, and discernment.
Whether you read it one day at a time or return to it throughout the year, we hope Step by Step will be a helpful companion as you reflect on faith, stewardship, and God’s call in your life.
If you have any questions about Pathways to Generosity or would like to talk more about the program, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the parish office.
