This Fall Kay Crider, along with the Rev. Jan Christian of the Pacific Western Region, will be presenting two webinars on stewardship:
In October, Stewardship Transitions for Small Congregations: How can small congregations become aware of and adopt successful stewardship concepts and practices as they grow? This webinar will help you become more comfortable talking about money, the stewardship team and minister’s access to pledge information, migrating from a spreadsheet to a database, educating your fellowship about the range and distribution of pledges, keeping the personal stewardship connections intact as you grow, electronic giving options, subscribing to helpful listservs and blogs, and more.
- In November, Ways to Improve Congregational Giving (Some Tried and True and Some Very New). Some of the techniques we’ll explore: Tying the congregational budget to our values and how they intersect with our pledges and gifts, creating opportunities for open discussions about money, broadening the ways and opportunities to give, creating the next generation of generous Unitarian Universalists, building a stewardship ministry team, mentoring and more.
There is a modest fee to participate in these webinars. For more information on these two learning opportunities, click here.
