How does your church talk about money? And who's in charge of helping people consider what they can give to ministry?This 29-page resource outlines how a stewardship committee in your church might look. There are also a variety of sample forms to adapt for your needs, like giving invitation letters and pledge forms. Then you will find a couple of exercises—"Personal Stewardship Worksheet" and "Writing Your Money Autobiography"—that congregants can take on their own time to help them meditate on the idea of stewardship.Table of Contents:A Stewardship Program in Your ChurchConsider the basic elements needed.by John ThroopYear-Round Stewardship Ministry Plan Stewardship Program Chair Job DescriptionBuilding a Stewardship Team: Functions and TipsBulletin AnnouncementNewsletter AnnouncementAnnual Giving Invitation LetterStewardship PrayerFaith Commitment CardShare Bears: Children's Giving PledgeFollow-up Giving Invitation LetterGiving Guide: Moving Towards TithingSample Stewardship Sermon:
