In these uncertain economic times, congregations are asking for leaders who can help them carry out a Consecration Sunday effectively. To meet the increasing need, a training for Consecration Sunday Leaders and Speakers has been scheduled for Thursday, August 13th, from 7-9 p.m., at the synod office.

Being a Consecration Sunday leader includes: (1) meeting for one hour with the stewardship team about six weeks in advance of Consecration Sunday to help plan the event, (2) speaking briefly at a church leader dinner about the spiritual and biblical dimensions of giving, and (3) preaching at the regular worship for Consecration Sunday. If you’re willing to share your gifts as leader, preacher, speaker and steward, please RSVP by Friday, July 31 to at 267.323.3749.
