Generosity Week takes place in the Harvest season, so that as we thank God for his generosity to us, we also have the opportunity to think about how we might respond to that generosity.
Generosity Week is also deliberately flexible to suit all types of church. If you want to join in this year, here's how to start:
- Pick a week. The national week runs from Sunday 28 September to Sunday 5 October 2025, but if another time works better for you, do it then.
- View the Diocesan Giving pages for help and advice.
- Choose what to do by looking at the summary of resources available. Make sure you have enough people to help you out with the initiatives you want to do.
- Plan your Sundays - two Sundays works well because it gives you one chance to explore gratitude, and one for generosity. To get you started, there are service outlines, sermon starters and prayers - all generosity-themed.
By the end of Generosity Week all of us will have a deeper understanding of God’s generosity towards us and how we can live more generously in our daily lives.
The Generosity Week online service for 2025 will be broadcast on Sunday 28 September.
