Ways to advance stewardship beyond
the basics
Developing a more detailed and comprehensive annual plan
We encourage Stewardship Committees
to make a detailed yearly plan that
includes the organization and

as well as monthly awareness activities.

someone in your group who is good
with computers can be a big help.
