Stewardship & Generosity A Ministry of the Stewardship Commission

October 2011 Dear Friends in Christ, Enclosed in this packet is the completely revised and updated Covenant stewardship starter kit, Stewardship and Generosity: Resources for Whole Life Stewardship. The purpose of the kit is to provide outstanding resources for Covenant churches who wish to strengthen their ministry of stewardship and generosity. In this kit you will find several brochures: “How to Create a Culture of Generosity in Your Church,” the newly revised “Loving and Giving” brochure, which has long been one of the most popular resources for teaching stewardship and generosity, and “How to Create a Narrative Budget.” Also included is a job description for the stewardship committee in the local church. You will also find many other excellent resources—and all of them with the link to the Covenant stewardship webpage. Check us out online at CovChurch.org/stewardship for further resources provided by the commission on stewardship. Included in this kit is a one page sheet entitled Covenant Stewardship Web Page at a Glance, which should help you navigate the many resources to be found there. The Commission on Stewardship is striving to meet the stewardship needs of local pastors throughout the Covenant. If there are additional stewardship tools that would be helpful to you and your congregation, please let us know. Our desire is to equip you well. We hope that you find these resources beneficial and we look forward to continuing our work in holistic stewardship with you and your congregation. Also note that the Covenant Resource Center is available to assist you with basic questions regarding resources and materials. Feel free to contact them at 1 (800) 338IDEA/4332 or [email protected]. We pray that the joy of giving will be continually discovered in your church and in all of our lives. Yours in Christ,
