Generosity Matters

Giving is directly related to God’s generosity to us; God wants us to be more Christ-like – and Christ gave everything on the Cross; Giving is an integral part of being a Disciple.   

Below are a number of resources to help parishes engage with this:
Generosity Matters
giving for life - parish resources website
Giving for life survey - continuing the journey
Giving for life - Leadership guide
The overview presentation that Gordon Randall, Diocesan Stewardship Advisor gave to the 2018 October Synod covering all aspects of giving at a Parish Level including:
  • How to do a PCC Review
  • Preaching & Teaching
  • Saying Thank you
  • Holding an Annual Review
  • Creating a 'Legacy Policy'
  • Gift Aid and Small Gift Donation Scheme
  • Parish Giving Scheme
  • Parish Buying Scheme
Resrouces for parishes to help engage with the eight areas of good practice, for example – template thank you letters, preaching & teaching resources etc.       
A survey for PCC's to use to assess their current status with respect to giving
A guide aimed at church leaders organising a PCC meeting to review the Giving for Life survey.

The YouTube videos below bring to life the messages of the above documents including Generosity in the Diocese of Winchester; a thank you from Bishop Tim for what you give to Parish Giving Scheme; an introduction to the Parish Giving Scheme; and a hilarious clip that very cleverly makes the point about tithing. It’s a good one to try and show to the entire congregation!
