The new stewardship program, "New Love, New Mercy" incorporates tableaux or living pictures to add a visual element to worship. As the offering is collected, several people kneel, stand, or sit in view of the congregation in attitudes of repentance, thanksgiving, and celebration.

The materials include a poster, a bulletin cover, bulletin inserts, letterhead and a #10 envelope, a Bible bookmark, a commitment (pledge) card with a mailing envelope, and a new song by Ken Medema. View materials

The New Consecration Sunday
Stewardship Program

by Herb Miller

Emphasizes growing in faith through our giving
by growing one step closer to tithing or beyond
.


This annual financial campaign takes place over a period of at least six weeks from an initial meeting of the steering committee to the date of Consecration Sunday. The program kit includes an introductory audio cassette tape which can be played for the Finance Committee, Stewardship Committee, or Church Council; a Stewardship Program book for use by the members of the Steering Committee; a copy of the estimate of giving card; and a Guest Leader's Guide.

The campaign involves a Guest Leader who conducts an initial meeting with the steering committee, a special Leadership Event for church council members and other church leaders, the Consecration Sunday worship services, and a presentation of the results at the Celebration Meal. Members of the congregation are recruited to share their testimonies on why it's important to them to give to Christ through the Church and how it impacts their life of faith.

This program focuses on the need of the giver to give and invites everyone to consider taking one step-up in their personal stewardship as a disciple of Christ. The emphasis is not on paying the bills of the church. Instead members are asked to consider what God is calling them to give in thanksgiving for the blessings they have received.

All NCS materials can be ordered from Cokesbury.
