Revised Common Lectionary reflection, 14th Sunday after Pentecost, Proper 17A. August 30, 2026.
The Rev. Emily Carson reflects on Peter’s struggle to see God’s bigger picture, inviting us to consider what it means to be stewards of our minds and to set our attention on “God things” rather than “human things.”
The Stewardship of Life Institute (SOLI) has entered a new chapter! We are excited to partner with Kindling Faith at United Lutheran Seminary to continue sharing resources and inspiring faithful stewardship.
Our website has a new home and a renewed vision for equipping individuals, congregations, and communities to live generously and care for God’s creation.
We invite you to explore our new website and discover all that Kindling Faith has to offer!
The Generosity Project (TGP) has a new webpage available in partnership with SOLI at Kindling Faith. TGP connects generations and equips households as centers for the faith practice of generosity. The webpage has curated workbooks, adapted resources that include worship documents, a VBS layout, videos and stories. Learn more about The Generosity Project!
Stewardship Stories highlights how SOLI grants, stewardship resources, and other opportunities are helping congregations nurture ministry, build stronger communities, and put generosity into practice. We look forward to sharing these stories soon!
