This Sunday begins our annual exploration of the Generosity Cycle. Each year, we consider our relationship to God’s generosity through this practice which leads us into the Advent season. Over the next six weeks, the worship resources will provide guidance for congregations to focus on generosity in worship through the four phases of the Generosity Cycle: Invite, Discover, Respond, and Reflect. These themes provide a context to more deeply understand our giving as an important aspect of discipleship.
I would encourage congregational leaders to utilize these materials in your experiences of worship over the next six weeks, and to consider personal exploration through readings in the Daily Bread. (https://cofchrist.org/daily-bread/#!/)
