We’ve received the following reminder from the Parsons District Office:
All clergy and teams from our churches are strongly encouraged to attend “Creating a Culture of Generosity” led by Dr. Clif Christopher on April 2 at Chanute First UMC. Topics will be covered that you are asking for help with — such as: the changing culture of giving, the big questions that donors ask that you must answer for them, the top reasons why people give, generational differences in giving, etc. Please take advantage of this opportunity located right in our District to grow in our understanding of stewardship and how we may share that with our congregations. Registration deadline is March 29.
The Vision Team has been studying Clif Christopher’s book and Jenny and I would like to have as many people attend as possible. We would especially encourage members of the Finance Committee and the Vision Team. There is a small registration fee that the church will cover. Please let John or Jenny know, by 9:00 am on Tuesday, March 29, 2011, if you’re able to attend. The schedule for the event on April 2 is as follows. Registration: 8:30-9:00 am, Seminar: 9:00 am – 3:30 pm, lunch is provided on site.
