This year’s stewardship thematic materials from the Ecumenical Stewardship Centre are based on 2 Corinthians 9:6-9, More Than Enough.
Congregations should have received a sample package of materials earlier in 2010 so they have plenty of time to place their order if they are considering starting a fall 2010 stewardship program. Additional copies of the samples are available from the National Office. To order, please email orders@elcic.ca or phone 1.888.786.6707 x 177. The following items were included in the sample package:
- A copy of Giving magazine with resources on estate planning, the power of story, a pull-out resource with a four-week stewardship emphasis plan and even offertory invitations to use during your congregation's worship services.
- A poster highlighting this year's theme for you to display in your congregation.
- Bulletin covers based on this year's theme.
- Time and Talent Form - including a version for youth and children.
- Commitment card sample.

2011 Annual Report Covers
Ever year the ELCIC produces Annual Report Covers that can be used by any ELCIC congregation or ministry as a cover to your annual report. Included on the Annual Report Covers are devotions to open and close your annual meeting.
Annual Report Covers for use at the beginning of 2011 will be available late October 2010. Please order your report covers BEFORE September 30 to ensure we print enough copies of the cover. We only print based on the quantities ordered. Place your order by emailing orders@elcic.ca.
The following are the Annual Report Covers based on the 2010 stewardship theme:
• Page 1 ready-to-print .pdf file (optimized for printing)
• Page 2 ready-to-print .pdf file (optimized for printing)
• Page 3 ready-to-print .pdf file (optimized for printing)
• Page 4 ready-to-print .pdf file (optimized for printing)
These stewardship resources are available to ELCIC congregations at a reasonable cost thanks to the generous support of Lutheran Laity Movement for Stewardship – Canada. However, we encourage congregations to make a donation towards the cost of shipping and handling (at least $30 for each shipment). If you are ordering materials for more than 200 members, please consider increasing your contribution proportionately.
