40 days 40 acts 40 opportunities to walk in generosity

Published 22nd January 2026 by Nina Seaman

Could your Messy Church get involved?

To help you on this journey of generous living, Messy Church is partnering with Stewardship 40acts campaign and have gifted 2 resources:

1) Messy Church Holy Habits session on Generosity

2) Growing Christian values: Generosity – a discipleship resource suitable for faith in the home or intergenerational small groups

You can download them for free here: 40acts Resources

We’ll also be featuring ideas from these resources each week on our social media.

For the super keen, sign up with Stewardship, who will guide you through 40 days of reflections and challenges, created with Christian partners and voices from across the Church. Together, they’re designed to help you slow down, notice the needs around you and respond in ways that reflect the love of Jesus.

New for this year: you can follow and track your 40acts journey in your Stewardship Giving App, helping you stay engaged and see how your generosity grows.

Let’s do Lent generously.

When you sign up for 40acts, you’ll receive daily emails with:

· a short reflection

· a Bible verse and prayer prompt

· a practical act of generosity to try that day

Some days the act will be small. Other days it may stretch you. You can then tick off the act in the Stewardship Giving App. However you take part, 40acts is about walking through Lent together, choosing generosity one day at a time.
