Surprised by Generosity Course
Surprised by Generosity is a new seven week course looking at God’s generosity to us and our call to live generously in return. It is based on the Gospel of Luke and features video reflections, interviews and a small group study guide.
During the seven weeks you are invited, together with your church community or family, to engage with this resource and explore how this message of generosity speaks to you today. Each session will last approximately 1 hour and can be hosted both in person as well as online.
The materials are prepared by the Diocese of Exeter Mission Resources Advisor Brigit Kiyaga and written by contributors from across the diocese, including author and speaker Dave Hopwood.

The course is based on the Gospel of Luke and we have devised service materials written by Clergy and Lay from across our Diocese. Although originally produced for Lent 2022, the service materials are still relevant and all 7 service plans can be downloaded here.

“’Surprised by Generosity’, our 2022 Lent course, opens our eyes afresh both to all that God generously gives us in Jesus and to how we might live generously in return. Practical, Biblical, challenging and professionally produced, it makes a great resource for churches, study groups and individuals who want to rediscover the God of surprises.”
