Many people in the UK and in other countries around the world are wrestling with a cost of living crisis. Many of us also feel that we have limited time and energy as we seek to navigate the world’s challenges. How can we answer God’s call to be ‘cheerful givers’? And how can we share with others the abundance of God’s love?
On this page you will find everything you need for the third session of our Act on Poverty course.
Our course pack includes:
