Stewardship Resources

For many, many years, the National Office ordered and sent out copies of the North American Ecumenical Stewardship Resource – Giving Magazine – to all ELCIC congregations free of charge. This annual publication, along with supporting resources, provided a wealth of stewardship content for congregations. In 2021, the organization that oversaw this resource voted to dissolve the organization so the magazine is no longer produced, but 40 years of Giving Magazine resources are now available DIGITALLY! All of these resources are available at no cost through the Lake Institute. To view these, visit: https://lakeinstitute.org/resource-library/ecumenical-stewardship-center-resources/

Conversation on Gratitude and Generosity

Developed by the National Office, this “conversation starter” will help you explore your experience of gratitude and generosity, and become more comfortable sharing this aspect of our faith. Resources for this are minimal, just two people (can even be done individually as a personal reflection) and approximately 30 minutes to devote to the discussion. Use this in your congregation, your Bible study group, or even for your own family’s personal stewardship development.
