#celebrateharvest Week 1 Generosity

Harvest is a time to stop and remember that everything we have is a gift from God. In the four weeks leading up to our harvest services, take a few moments to think about why and how we celebrate harvest.

Week 1: Generosity

Read: 2 Corinthians 9:6-15

Giving to others a share of what God has given to us is an important part of living a life that is God-centred and God-shaped. We do not give because we expect to get something in return if we do. We give because we are grateful to God for the many ways in which God lavishly and generously gives to us. So at harvest we are encouraged to be generous as an act of worship to God.  

Reflect: How has God provided for your needs this week? What do you feel especially grateful for? How can you join in with God’s generosity?

Pray: God of the harvest, you have blessed us abundantly. Help us to generously share what you have given us with thankful and cheerful hearts. Amen.
