We are passionate about congregational stewardship, so are always surfing the web, reading, listening, and looking for stewardship resources. Our goal is to add to this page regularly and share the best ones we find with you. Check back often for new sections and posting. Here are our current sections:
FREE Webinar, July 2016: Do We Need a Stewardship Consultant, Architect, Builder, or Lawyer?
We were pleased to offer this FREE seminar in July of last year:
Does your congreg
ation need a stewardship consultant? Often times yes, but not always. We examined in this webinar the considerations to make that determination, and looked at best practices for engaging other professionals, such as architects, general contractors, lawyers, and financiers/bankers.
This free webinar sought to make it easier for congregational leaders to make the best decisions in engaging help for your stewardship or capital projects. The webinar was offered twice, on July 18 and 21.

The Suggested Fair Share Contribution Guide
This Guide is a valuable tool in congregational giving, providing a range of practical gift levels for the individual or household and recognizing that people have varying capacities to give, based on their resources and other financial responsibilities, while providing recognition for giving at various levels.

E-Giving
At a recent UUA General Assembly, the Stewardship for Us Team provided a workshop on E-Giving. Electronic giving is a fast changing area, with some challenges, but much potential. Interested persons will need to survey the products and services regularly to be informed as to what is available that best fits the needs of your congregation or organization. We provide here a sample list of organizations you may wish to review as you learn more about this area and make decisions appropriate to your requirements. Watch the UUA web site for availability of the video of this workshop, expected in July.
