Join us in becoming a generous community

LIVING THE LITURGY Giving Campaign UPDATE

We want to thank so many of you for supporting Church of the City New York through our Living the Liturgy campaign. Each week we say a generosity liturgy that comes directly from Scripture and was crafted by trusted voices in our community, in hopes of closing the gap between our current standards of generosity and the Kingdom standards taught by Jesus.

We are excited to share that we not only reached our financial goal, but exceeded it! Together as a church, we were able to raise $1,483,254. We are blown away by the overflow of the Lord’s generous heart making itself known through our church community, and are excited to share more about this with you soon. 

Learn more about the areas Living the Liturgy will support this year through the stories below. 

GENEROSITY LITURGY

We invite you to take a moment and read our Generosity Liturgy that we say together corporately, every Sunday, as a practice of counter-formation, to cultivate our hearts in the direction of generosity.

Holy Father, there is nothing I have that You have not given me. All I have and am belong to You, bought with the blood of Jesus. To spend everything on myself, and to give without sacrifice, is the way of the world that You cannot abide.

But generosity is the way of those who call Christ their Lord; who love Him with free hearts and serve Him with renewed minds. Who withstand the delusion of riches that chokes the word; Whose hearts are in your kingdom and not in the systems of the world.

I am determined to increase in generosity until it can be said that there is no needy person among us. I am determined to be trustworthy with such a little thing as money that You may trust me with true riches.

Above all, I am determined to be generous because You, Father, are generous. It is the delight of Your daughters and sons to share Your traits, and to show what You are like to all the world.

Amen.
