Just added a whole host of helpful links.
We’ve got resources for planning stewardship campaigns. Special accounts to make your own personal giving simpler. Study materials for individuals or house groups and one or two blogs for entertainment.
Personal favourites at the minute are my good friends at Christians Against Poverty – awesome what they do to support those who get into financial trouble – especially at the moment. If your church isn’t already engaged with them please take a look – they have a great financial training programme that you could deliver – brilliant outreach and at the same time a gentle way to reach out to those within your congregation who might just be suffering in silence.
