Go to:  www.elca.org and click on their "Growing in Faith" section, then click on "discipleship" and follow the link to "stewardship."
 
Here are some samples:
  • Stories to Tell and Gifts to share (DVD, audio)
  • Celebrate Generosity (pdf book)

Another good resource for stewardship education materials is the stewardship section of the Luther Seminary web page (have you discovered Working Preacher there yet? Check it out!)
Luther Seminary offers a "Rethinking Stewardship" convocation each summer, and some spectacular resources have come from that gathering.
 
Go to:  www.luthersem.edu and click on the Stewardship section under "leaders in ministry."  Here are some samples:
  • "How Much is enough - A Deeper Look at Stewardship in an Age of Abundance." This resource is available as a free e-book or in hard copy.
  • Stewardship resource database
  • Several Audio/ Video clips on Stewardship
  • Bible studies around stewardship.
  • Much, much more!!
Happy hunting for rich and rewarding stewardship materials for your use in the congregation!  Let us continue on this journey of growth in discipleship through our stewardship practices!
