Reflecting on our Stewardship

This second section of the case statement encourages reflection on the church's stewardship story and practice. Defensiveness, denial or anxiety today is often challenged by remembrance of past achievements or realistic action to be taken. Thinking about good stewardship practice can release leaders from fear of the accusation, 'the church is always talking about money'.
This section of the case statement invites a conversation about how stewardship feels in the church, about what is done, or not done in your stewardship ministry. This may be a done deed; we touched on it at Making a decision.  

If not, now's the time to do some talking. The second section of the case statement poses some questions and may be all you need, all you have time for. But if you can invest some time then check out Come and See in Downloads for an overview of and links to a flexible range of resources - with a shout out to Sacred Spaces and Stewardship. The suggested resources will all help frame a good stewardship conversation.
