Summary:Mennonite Foundation of Canada's theme this year is "joyful generosity." In I Timothy 6:17-19, Paul writes to a lessexperienced church leader and gives him these words of encouragement for his work with the church in Ephesus: "As for those who in the present age are rich, command them not to be haughty, or to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but rather on God, who richly provides us with everythingfor our enjoyment. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life"
