The Chester Mission Station of Christ Central Ministries includes our Thrift Store and the Center of Hope. The Thrift Store provides operational funds for our 9-month transitional housing program. The Center provides a safe place for residents to heal and find hope that strengthens them to return to independent living. Addiction recovery, spiritual growth, financial fitness, relational health and overall wellness are all part of the program. We invite the community to join with us in mental wellness workshops and other learning opportunities. Our volunteers and residents learn and grow together as we rejoice in the God of Hope who gives life, peace, and joy. Would you like to join us in spreading hope -- the treasured gift of your time is always appreciated as are financial donations.
Generosity of God
Everything we have comes from God! The very breath in our lungs, our physical ability to work, friends, sunshine, food… He thought of coffee beans! That’s pretty amazing, don’t you think?
Before any human existed, God created a beautiful home. That’s just how He is - He wants to care for us. Jesus’ heart is the same - He came that we might have abundant life (John 10:10)!
As we go through this month, let’s focus our hearts on God as a Generous Giver and ask HIm to make us more like Him. Point to His goodness as you give to others.

Here's a verse that helps you think on God's generosity. One for each week of December:
2 Corinthians 9:15 - Giver of the Unspeakable Gift
Genesis 22:13-14 - Jehovah Jireh - the Lord provides
2 Peter 1:3-4 - Giver of ALL things needed for life and godliness
Philippians 4:19 - Meeter of ALL needs
As we really think about God generosity, our thankfulness will change the way we treat Him -- and others.
