From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. - John 1:16
As Christians, we are invited to know and reflect the heart of a great and generous God. In the weeks leading up to Stewardship Sunday, we want to give space to think about what generosity looks like in our everyday lives.
Generosity is much more than just about what we are asked to consider to give financially to church on a particular Sunday of the year. It is a way of life, shaped by Christ, that touches every part of who we are - our time, our relationships, our hospitality, and all our resources. To help us reflect, we’re recommending a short booklet: On Generosity by Richard Briggs (Grove Books). It’s only 20-pages long but full of thoughtful insights and some questions we have added to guide reflection.
If you’re in a small group, your leaders will share a couple of copies with you. Extra copies will also be available at the back of church for anyone not currently in a small group.
