Fostering a Culture of Generosity conference
The Lewis Center for Church Leadership is sponsoring a half-day seminar called “Fostering a Culture of Generosity” on March 9 at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC.  Generosity is a critical expression of Christian discipleship and key to healthy congregational stewardship. Participants will explore faith, generosity, and how generous congregations give rise to generous people. Some workshop titles are “Generosity in the Bible,” “Cultivating Giving Among Younger Generations,” and “Building a Year-round Stewardship Plan.” Not able to attend? Bring the best of the conference home to your congregation with videos, narrated presentations, PowerPoint presentations, and more for $60 if ordered by March 9. The resource ships in early April. To learn more, go to generosity.

The keynote leader will be Mary Jane Pierce Norton, a full-deacon in the NC Conference, serving as the Associate General Secretary of The General Board of Discipleship’s Discipleship Ministries Division. Advanced registration is required for the overnight event.
