Join us in celebrating Generosity Week – which is marked by the Church of England from Sunday 29 September to Sunday 6 October 2024 – coinciding with Harvest. It provides a two-Sunday ‘bookend’ to focus on and celebrate Living Generously.
It is an easy opportunity to give thanks for all that comes from our loving God, for people’s contributions to our church life as well as reflecting on how we can live generously in our everyday lives.
Having recently joined the Giving Team, I am excited about our plans. As the Children’s Ministry Leader at St Michael and All Angels, Barnes and recently completing the diocese on Aurora training course, I was delighted to write some new resources focusing on generosity and gratitude to use with our children and young people (CYP), at home and in church. The resources provide an opportunity to prompt conversations about living generously across generations, from sermons to the family dinner table. You can download our CYP challenge at: bit.ly/3zjt1Be
The Lectionary for these weeks lends itself to encouraging and celebrating giving in our world today – our attention and time being key challenges. Help yourself to sample sermons, daily videos and bible studies, ideas to involve the community and more!
Resources are available on the giving section the website and please remember, the that Giving Team are here to support you.
