Announcement from the Communications Office
Stewardship: It's a year-round thing!
June 27, 2019

Here are some resources to get you thinking about a new approach…or about collaborating and brainstorming with neighboring parishes…or about preaching this summer to plant the seeds for year round stewardship awareness, as well as resources for pledge campaigns! Watch for a couple of articles in the fall! Send along other resources and programs that have worked well in your parish!

I am also glad to get together with stewardship folks – and perhaps a few teams from neighboring congregations – to brainstorm, share resources, figure out how to get creative!

Embracing Stewardship , by Grace Duddy Pomroy and Charles Lane. Chick and Grace were our speakers for our Leadership Day last March. Their book can help raise awareness around year-round stewardship and guide you in thinking about pledging. 
TENS: The Episcopal Network for Stewardship
Each year, TENS has a different theme with all of the necessary materials for an effective pledge campaign. This year the theme is : Shining our Light

Giving Magazine – Like TENS, Giving Magazine has a different theme each year. The magazine is filled with articles to get people thinking, draft letters, envelopes, etc. You can order from previous years, as well.


Enough  , by Adam Hamilton. Enough is a book and CD. IT can be used for small group reading and discussion, or as part of a sermon. In my previous parish, we used it and it fostered lots of good conversation and awareness.
