Participants will explore:

Session 1: "Stewardship as A Spiritual Practice":

Focus will be on the individual and how we live our faith everyday - at home and at work.

Session 2: "Living our Stewardship as a Congregation":

We will learn how to utilize best practices to grow faith and increase giving to mission/ministry by exploring The Called to Be the Church: We Sing Thanksgiving program.

Session 3: "Living our Faith as the United Church of Canada":

What is Mission & Service? What does Mission and Service Do? How can we grow our givings and ministry as a denomination?

Participants will also get an opportunity to learn about Legacy Giving and how this might impact your congregation's ministry. As well, we will include a session on The United Church Foundation and explore how individuals and congregations can avail of this wonderful resource.

Finally there will be lots of time for questions, conversations and opportunities to learn about new resources.
