Discover how Stewardship can be fun and involve all generations! The Generosity Project is based on these beliefs: (1) All generations are to be equipped as stewards of God’s abundant grace. (2) Generosity is essential to the daily expression of one’s faith and best formed and practiced in households, with the support of the congregation. (3) When values and finances are discussed between people of all ages, trust is built and faith nurtured. (4) The understanding of stewardship needs to be expanded. (5) As Christians, our lives, our identity and daily decisions as consumers are shaped by God’s Story in Jesus. Resources will be shared for creating your own Generosity Project.
