The Episcopal Network for Stewardship (TENS) has developed Flourish in Faith: 2013 Stewardship Narrative Series, designed to complement and support your congregation’s annual giving campaign. This year, seven contributing writers – including Bishop Mark Beckwith – plant the seeds of stewardship and faithful giving in connection with Luke’s Gospel, beginning Sunday, October 6, and continuing through November 10.
The series includes:
- Overview of series
- Sample letters to be used by rector and others
- Letter for smaller congregations to use
- Pledge card & proportional giving chart
- Proportional giving card
- Liturgical resources
- Bulletin inserts for seven Sundays... including one by Bishop Beckwith
The hope is that you will consider using this series to help stewardship blossom in your congregation in your unique context.
AND... this series is also available in Spanish, Korean and Chinese.
Since the diocese is a member of TENS, each congregation in the diocese is entitled to access and use all of the materials offered by TENS.
