The Generosity Project

The Generosity Project

Connecting Generations, Equipping Households, Cultivating the Faith Practice of Generosity Together

Are you hungry for some wholesome fun? The Generosity Project will more than satisfy!

The Generosity Project Introductory Workshop is a lively, interactive experience where God's abundance collides with the joy and wisdom across the generations. The workshop unlocks the potential in any congregation to engage all ages as leaders of generosity — in the congregation and at home. Congregations who bring three or more generations will receive a free copy of the six-session follow-up curriculum (a $39 value). (Three generations could be: a dad with his dad and son or a confirmation student, pastor, and elder.)

Generosity is best learned together.

  • Explore stories of God’s generosity.
  • Discover how generosity helps us grow in faith.
  • Learn how to create a culture of generosity in your home and congregation.
  • Consider how daily decisions to share, save and spend are shaped by our relationship with God.
  • Celebrate God’s goodness and abundance!

2023 Workshop: The Generosity Project workshop will be held October 22 from 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM at American Lutheran Church, Bourbonnais. Download the flyer.
