Looking for an impactful stewardship program that is theologically grounded and easy to implement? Grace Pomroy, director of the Stewardship Leaders Program at Luther Seminary, has partnered with Church Anew to create Stewardship to Go, and all Luther students get free access. Use the code STEWARDSHIPGIFT to get free access to this year’s resource and the past two years’ resources. If you are in a context that uses the lectionary, that means you’ll have a stewardship resource for every year! Whether you use them this year or not, these are great resources to download for future use: You Have Heard it Said (vol 1), The Impossible Promise of Enough (vol 2), and What We Can Do (vol 3).
