11
WAYS TO SUPPORT STEWARDSHIP FOR YOUR CHURCH #6
We
are in the sixth week sharing about the VANCO stewardship booklet on the 11
Ways to support stewardship for your church. This week, we are discussing Themed
Giving Campaigns. Most of our “themes” for giving are usually holidays or a
capital campaign or something very special.
The
cool thing is themed giving campaigns doesn’t just have to be around the
holidays. Examples include:
At the end of the
school year, maybe special gifts toward the playground or gymnasium or
something in honor of graduating seniors.
There
are always theological themes, such as charity, tithing or stewardship, or more
practical themes such as poverty or evangelism.
The
liturgical calendar also gives themes. What if you considered a special Lenten
offering (maybe an amount per day or something else) that goes to a ministry
that helps others (outside the normal offering and normal budget).
Maybe
there are topics that your book or Bible studies are talking about.
Themed
messages and worship can also help with themed giving campaigns.
Some
of these ideas can reach current members who don’t attend frequently or even others
that attend only at certain times of the year such as Christmas or Easter.
It
can be an outreach and a financial one.
Make
things different, make things fun!
