Generosity Stories

Below are links to templates that can help you build a dynamic Disciples Generous Response for a worship service. The MS Word templates offer a simple and compelling way to talk about generosity and discipleship through the framework of our Mission Initiatives and Enduring Principles. Each template coordinates with the use of timely, inspirational stories and videos that you can integrate into your Disciples Generous Response ministry.

follow-up surveyA survey about Generosity Stories was conducted from December2011 through January2012. Using the data collected, the resources found on this page were updated, reformatted and launched in February 2012.
This new format includes MS Word and PDF templates that are grouped by Generosity Resources (ie mission stories, videos, and contribution updates).  Each template gives users a full script for the Disciples’ Generous Response as well as instructions for where to locate the particular resource that template references.

This webpage has been live for approximately 8 weeks. This follow-up survey is intended to capture feedback about the new format and ways that the resources can continue to be improved so they are meeting the needs of the people as they are intended. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the online Generosity Resources.
