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 the spirit behind generosity and explore some biblical foundations. We will also look at actions to deepen our faith, enrich our families, and inspire our faith communities to reflect God’s love to the world.

What We'll Cover

• Generosity personally and at home: Personal biblical reflections and simple ways to practice generosity with your household, including ways to teach kids the joy of giving.

• Generosity among our church communities: Useful Gifts and other ways to spark collective action and real impact.

• Stories from the movement: Reflections and inspiration from long-time Useful Gifts volunteers.

Who Should Attend?

• Anyone wanting to explore the theme of generosity this Christmas season.

• Christian families seeking meaningful traditions that emphasise compassion and giving.

• Church leaders, mission champions, and Useful Gifts shop volunteers wanting to encourage their local congregations.
