Stewardship can be easily inserted into your bulletin each month to continuously build and reinforce the theme of true giving.  At certain times of the year, emphasize the topic of stewardship by creating a special mailing around Stewardship with a letter from the Pastor.

Reach the entire church body, including less active members or the home-bound by regularly including Stewardship in the monthly newsletter, or in other church mailings as a dialogue opener.

Use Stewardship to help develop the spirit of “giving of one’s self” in Bible studies and other educational programs.  Use it on a year-round basis for all of the church’s educational ministries.

Use Stewardship as a communications vehicle for community outreach initiatives, thus building your church membership efforts.

Use Stewardship on a year-round basis to alleviate awkward conversations during pledge drives or capital campaigns.

The anecdotes and articles in Stewardship can be used by the pastor to develop sermons, illustrations and inspirational ideas about stewardship.

Supplement annual stewardship programs with ongoing, monthly stewardship messages by including Stewardship in the bulletins or newsletters in order to build the spirit in between campaigns.

Don’t forget to compliment the message of stewardship from the pulpit with “A Stewardship Minute.”  This will reinforce the message about the “giving” of time, talent and treasure back to God’s community.
