From the Desk of Our Executive Director

Welcome to another Stewardship Journal!

Did you watch the Super Bowl? I have met several people that stated they watched the game for the ads but not the teams playing. You probably know someone like that. In some years, the ads are more talked about than the game. This year the buzz after the game was about all the ads for cryptocurrency. If you thought, crypto what, then we have a great lead post for you entitled Overcoming Objections to Crypto.

Here is a preview of the rest of the Stewardship Journal.

Is preaching becoming a lost art? That is the question Mark Brooks, The Stewardship Coach, asks in his post entitled The 21^st Century Sermon, the final in his three-part series.

This week’s Bonus Section is a sample stewardship sermon manuscript entitled Laying a Foundation That Assures Stability. This sermon will give you great ideas for how to develop your next stewardship series.

We believe that taking two minutes or less to set the stage for your offering time can make a huge difference in your weekly offerings. This time is especially valuable for reaching new donors. This week’s Mission and Ministry talk is entitled Are You Ready for Spring?
