Comment on How the Five Laws of Marketing Can Help Your Offerings by Julie Cory

Mark,
I’m in the process of finishing up my very first stewardship sermon as a new pastor. I went to Google to find a definition of stewardship, and while that wasn’t much help I saw the Charis Group link amidst the many definitions. This blog entry helped a lot. As new pastors (my husband and I co-pastor this small Disciples congregation)we’ve been getting a lot of advise on this topic. Some feel it should be low key, others feel we should be firmer in insisting on tithing, no one ever said we should make it FUN! I’m not sure if tomorrow will be fun or not, but I now have a lot to think about for next year if nothing else. My sermon for tomorrow (Mk 10:46-52) is titled Blind Spots and is about how many times we are blind to what it means to be good stewards. Your blog gave me some more ideas. Thanks!

Mark, this spoke to me and I trust that others were prompted to take action. I would especially encourage honesty in prayer to the Lord, asking Him for a renewed interest in His will for our lives and ministry. God Bless you in your efforts!

Actually it comes from their monthly column in Fast Company that i do give credit to. I am always careful to give credit where credit is due.

The story in Fast Company comes from the book “Made to Stick” by Chip and Dan Heath. Always good form to give credit to the source when quoting their work extensively.
