Getting Started in Stewardship
2023-02-21 13:00 - 15:00 | Online via Zoom
Getting Started in Stewardship
Date: Tuesday, February 21, 1:00 pm ET
Part of the Called to be the Church: The Journey program
Join United Church people from across the country to learn some stewardship first principles. Start with an online 2-hour course on Zoom that answers questions like:
What is stewardship all about anyway?
Isn’t stewardship just a churchy word for fundraising?
Why do people give, and why would they give to our church?
What can we do to encourage greater generosity?
The practical assignments that follow will help you reflect on giving and generosity as part of your faith, gather and interpret some of the giving data from your community of faith, and build a stewardship team in order to start making stewardship a priority in your community of faith.
Completion of this course is a great first step before participating in the Stewardship Best Practices course, which will be offered this March.
This is the registration link.
