Stories of Generosity

Here you will find a series of short videos each with a personal story of generosity or sharing a moment where they were generous. You might like to use these personally, during services, alongside the Lent Course or as part of using the adaptable resource for groups.

As a church, you might gather your own video stories to share in the same way or perhaps through social media to engage and involve your wider community over Lent. Or simply inviting someone in advance to share a story of generosity from their week during each service, Lent course session, small group meeting and/or even at the beginning of meetings.
