Giving 2006
Growing Joyful Stewards in your congregation starts with this book
Giving is an annual periodical of the Ecumenical Stewardship Center (ESC).
David Bell, Director of the Center for Christian Stewardship at the General Board of Discipleship, serves on the ESC Board of Directors. The Rev. Steve Johnson, a member of the South Indiana Conference, serves as ESC executive director.
The articles in each issue are written to guide you to develop creative and vital stewardship ministries in your church or organization.
The theme for this issue is Common Hope, Common Trust. The introduction sets the tone to the implications of the oft-quoted statement, "God is the owner of all."
Do we merely affirm that belief without actually putting it into action? Explore this theme in depth with writers from all denominations who specialize in stewardship ministries.
