From Chris Boden, Diocesan Stewardship and Resources Officer:
Generosity is at the heart of our faith. We believe in a generous God and our own generosity is a testament and hallmark of our faith in action. Every day we see generosity in our churches and Christian communities, reflecting the generous God we believe in.
This Harvest the Church of England is launching Generosity Week to give us the time and space to reflect on God’s Generosity and celebrate God’s generosity within our church’s ministry and mission.
We hope that by the end of The Generosity Week you’ll have a deeper understanding of God’s generosity towards us and how we can live more generously in our daily lives.
You can run Generosity Week in your church to coincide with your Harvest Festival. As churches celebrate Harvest at different times this could be at any time between August to October. The National Stewardship team will make resources available to churches from July, and will be hosting webinars during the summer to offer guidance on running a Generosity Week at your church.
