As we celebrate Stewardship Month, I wanted to share a little bit about the Brazilian BBQ gathering we hosted at church. It was such a blessing to come together with my Brazilian friends and our wonderful church community to share a bit of our culture, our food, and our joy.

For us, Brazilian BBQ—churrasco—is more than just a meal. It’s a moment of fellowship, hospitality, and gratitude. Opening our traditions to others reminds us how God calls us to share what we have, not only with our close friends but with our whole community. Seeing everyone enjoying the food, asking questions, laughing, and being together truly filled my heart.

Thank you, church, for welcoming our culture with such kindness. It is a joy to be part of a family that celebrates diversity, unity, and the many ways God brings us together.

May we continue to use our gifts, our time, our talents, our cultures, and our tables to build a stronger community rooted in love and generosity.
