Energizing and Mobilizing Opening Devotion – Strategic Budgeting

March 18, 2017 by jonvanderson

Here is the PowerPoint for March 18th.

This was shared at the Energizing and Mobilizing event in its “Opening Devotion.”

Our focus was on “Strategic Budgeting” and “Generosity.”

These are some books I mentioned that I have found helpful.  The one I spent more time on was Switch which is below.
– Not Your Parents’ Offering Plate: A New Vision for Financial Stewardship, by J. Clif Christopher
– In Pursuit of the Almighty’s Dollar, by James Hudnut-Beumler
– A Spirituality of Fundraising, by Henri Nouwen
– Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard, by Chip Heath and Dan Heath

Here is my PowerPoint I shared at the event:

If you are interested in the whole program call Pr. Larry Strenge in our synod office or email him at [email protected]

Bishop Jon Anderson

David Anfinson, one of our speakers for the event pointed people to Lutheran Seminary’s web site to sign up for the stewardship weekly enews.
