Creating Congregational Generosity - June 5 - 7, 2012
An Event for Clergy
Do you feel inadequate to talk about money in your congregation?
Do you tend to only preach on stewardship when you have to and when it is time to encourage pledges?
Is your talk about generosity limited to money?
Do you have a plan to create a growing spirit of generosity in your congregation?
At this event, you will have the opportunity to address the challenges of talking about money and generosity in the church.
You will be invited to listen to scripture, think theologically and consider practical ideas that will encourage generosity in your church.
Before leaving, you will have the opportunity to develop a plan of action for your congregation.
