Making Christmas a Season of Generosity
The Christmas season is an opportunity to reflect on life’s most important gifts: love, peace, and relationship. But it’s easy for those things to be crowded out by a culture of consumerism and weighty expectations.
The heart behind Tearfund's Useful Gifts is counter-cultural action that anchors us in God’s abundant love and embodies a spirit of generosity by supporting transformation amongst communities living in poverty.
Join us for Making Christmas a Season of Generosity to look more deeply at ways we can cultivate generosity as an intentional, ongoing practice in our daily lives. Together, we’ll examine simple habits, meaningful traditions, and purposeful action to deepen our faith, enrich our families, and inspire our faith communities to reflect God’s love to the world.
Date and time: Wed, 11 Nov, 7:30pm - 8:30pm AEDT
