Giving is foundational in the Christian life; it is the essence of being a Christian. “For God so loved the world that He Gave…” God gave his only Son. We at Pinecrest seek ways to give of ourselves to those around us. The Never Ending Story is a great example of our giving spirit, involving over 100 members of the cast and crew. Thousands of hours are volunteered, and tens of thousands of dollars have been raised and completely given back to our community through local charities. For it is through givng ourselves away that we have learned “it is truly more blessed to give than to receive.”
