Charity Sunday 2027: Giving with Joy
7 February 2027 is the big day: the annual Charity Sunday. The theme is: GIVING WITH JOY.
Paul teaches that giving is not a duty, but a joyful act of love and gratitude. He emphasises that it must be done willingly, from the heart and with joy, and not reluctantly or out of a sense of obligation. Generosity springs from the realisation that everything we have comes from God, evident in His creation and, above all, in Christ.
All around us, we often see society becoming more hardened, with people thinking in terms of opposing camps. How much do we still ‘care’ for one another? We can show our care through money, time, attention or a compliment. In this way, we serve one another and reflect God’s grace.
Fancy reading more of the Bible? Why not have a look at 1 Corinthians 9? Verse 7 sets out this Sunday’s theme. The children’s story that follows is about the widow’s mite (Mark 12:41–44).
Materials
The materials will be sent to the diaconates in the first week of December.
