Starting Jan 4 | Shades of Green
Money gets weird fast; it’s full of stress, silence, and a thousand unspoken rules. “Shades of Green” is our chance to rethink all that. Each week, we’ll try on a new lens: ownership, what’s “enough,” and generosity. And we want to talk about it without guilt or pressure, just space to understand our money a little better and use it in ways that actually fit who we want to be.
January 4 | Whose Green is it Anyways? “What’s mine is mine,” right? Money, that is. You earned it, it belongs to you, and you get to decide what to do with it. That’s the story most of us have inherited… and it makes sense. But that particular shade of green has also gotten us into trouble for, oh… a couple thousand years. In week one, we’ll step back and ask a more honest question: what do we really own, and what are we simply holding for a while? Changing the lens might just change how we live.
January 11 | Never Enough? So… how much is enough, anyway? You might know exactly what you’re doing with your money, but do you know what your money is doing with you? Our culture trains us to look at life through a scarcity-tinted lens: protect what’s yours, assume there’s not enough, stay afraid. In week two, we’ll experiment with a different shade of green— one rooted in enoughness. Once we notice how pervasive scarcity thinking is, seeing another way might be very good news.
January 18 | Green is Meant to Circulate - Generosity… in this economy?! Money might make things weird, but it also can make things beautiful. In our final week, we’ll talk about generosity: what it is, what it isn’t, and what it actually does to us (turns out, there’s fascinating brain chemistry involved). In a world that treats generosity as foolish or unrealistic, we’ll explore how this particular shade of green might be the one that frees us— not just spiritually, but practically, too.
January 24 (Saturday) | Shades of Green WORKSHOP - Most of the time, when a church talks about money, it’s to ask for some. That’s not what this is. We believe money conversations need a third-space— room to be honest, curious, and supported without pressure or shame. That’s why Fabric is hosting a free half-day workshop at the Center of Belonging on Saturday, January 24.
Together, we’ll unearth the money stories we’ve inherited, get clearer about our “money scripts,” and set realistic financial goals— whether you’re just starting out, living paycheck to paycheck, or figuring out what to do with a surplus. No matter where you fall on the financial spectrum, it’s never too early (or too late) to look at money with fresh eyes.
Join Shannon Doyle from the LSS Financial Counseling team for this interactive, practical workshop from 9:30–12:00 on January 24 at the Center of Belonging. Watch for a sign-up coming soon!
