Announcing a New Stewardship Resource
by Bill Clontz and Mark Ewert
We are pleased to advise friends, clients, and readers of Stewardship for Us that a new resource is coming your way.
Beginning in April, 2016 we will be
supplementing the team’s regular blog posts with 2-3 additional posts per month, in a series we are calling Nurturing Stewardship.
Over the course of the year, we will review, in a logical sequence, the key elements of stewardship success, starting with preparing your congregation, to building your stewardship team, on to planning and carrying out programs, and institutionalizing what works best for your congregation.
We expect to further develop and expand these discussions in other media later in the year. In the meantime, look for the Nurturing Stewardship posts – they will be so titled and will come with a distinctive logo to make it easy for you to find them.
And by all means, share your observations on them and suggestions for additional topics on our blog (https://stewardshipforus.com/blog ) or on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/S4US1 )
