Stewardship
New Visions of Stewardship: A Workshop for Ruling Elders and Other Leaders
How do we encourage greater financial support for our church's ministry and mission?
How has the shift to a check-less and cash-less society changed the Sunday offering?
How can we integrate financial stewardship with a larger vision of faithfulness and mission?
These questions and much more were discussed at the New Visions of Stewardship - a presbytery-wide workshop on stewardship and mission for the 21st century held on June 24 at First Presbyterian Church, Flint.
We welcomed the Rev. Stephen Keizer of the Presbyterian Foundation as our keynoter. In addition, workshops were offered on timely topics such as "Introducing E-giving," "Stewardship Strategies for the Small Church," "Growing Missional Stewardship," and more.
Copies of the book Not Your Parents' Offering Plate are still available for $10 each with NO shipping costs.
