We're Providing Stewardship 2.0: Join Us!

PLEASE NOTE AFTERNOON START TIME OF 1 PM EST

Grace and Chick are Back!

These co-authors are leading the way in Stewardship from the heart!

Grace Pomroy and Rev. Chick Lane are our special presenters in the second stewardship webinar for April. They are national speakers and we are grateful they can be here.

Whether you've taken their first webinar or not, we hope you'll check out this exciting offering. Come participate in four short and inspiring talks. Here are only some of the things you'll learn:

Two Ways to Talk about Money” - money talk with leadership (paying the bills) vs. the money talk that you should do with the congregation (mission & ministry)
“Don’t Forget to Say Thanks” - importance of saying "thank you"
"What's Your Why?" - why do you give? And, even, why church? Sharing our why stories is an important part of stewardship ministry
"Connect the Dots" - you don't have to do stewardship ministry alone, get other congregational committees involved in the process - there's likely stewardship already going on in your congregation that isn't named that way

Your $25 registration fee may be eligible for CEUs. If you are clergy you can have the $25 reimbursed, and we will send you information on this special new program..

To earn CEU credit, please use a computer with a web camera and remain visible for the whole hour as well as completing and returning the Reflections of Learning form before 4 PM on April 17, 2019

Aimée A. Laramore, MBA

The Christian View of Money: Selfless Leadership

Wednesday, October 3, 2018
11:00 AM 12:00 PM 11:00 12:00
Google Calendar ICS

Practice all of your leadership skills, including financial.

How might you model meaningful leadership in your ministry when it comes to money?

Objectives:

1. Providing a simple thinking construct for working with money dilemmas.

2. Developing more money applications in preaching.

3. Gaining perspective on leading diverse communities, especially in money matters.

Mark L. Vincent, PhD, CCNL is a Chair for the Eastern Wisconsin Convene Team. He is the CEO of Design Group International, and provides leadership to the Convene Consulting Network, providing wise guidance for leaders of enterprise and service organizations. Out of his own life spent building enterprise while dealing with a prolonged health battle, Mark, and his first wife, Lorie, pared and honed their answer to the question, “if there is just one thing to which you could give your life, what would it be?” The answer for Mark is to love leaders as they claim their life vocation as stewards of enterprise. His latest book is the 4th edition of The Christian View of Money.

Imagine the money we need versus what we have for ministry. Imagine they are the same.

"We like to complain that we are poor and struggling, little money, and pity us. BUT, the reality is we have as much money as we need for the mission, we are just afraid to ask for it, or we ask poorly."

This presentation addresses our situation of indifferent giving (2% as average), some US statistics, references to studies, and opens us new and different ways to raise funds and stewardship awareness.
