Coming Events in Province II
August 19-21, 2010 -Training For Stewardship Mentors -
Good Stewards - Thank God… Thank God!
Province II is once again offering training for stewardship mentors. We are truly blessed to have as our trainer, Gerald Keucher, the author of 'Remembering the Future: Asset Management and Financial Leadership," a book which grew out of his work with congregations during his years on the administrative staff of the Diocese of New York. A second book, "Humble and Strong Accountable Leadership" will be out this fall. His aim in these sessions is to make it possible for all of us to talk about money in ways that don't make people mad, but rather help be as generous as they've always wanted to be.
