SUMMARY:Stewardship Broken Open!
DESCRIPTION:Stewardship Broken Open!\nYou are a steward! In fact\, every beloved Child of God is a steward. We’re stewards of all that God entrusts. This is and always has been true. But we also need to acknowledge that we are being broken open in so many ways in life and ministry during these days. \nThat might sound intimidating or scary but being broken open isn’t all bad. Perhaps God is inviting us to do something new\, or at least to see somethings a bit differently. Starting with the premise that the psalmist makes in Psalm 24\, “The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it\, the world\, and those who live in it\,” Deacon Timothy Siburg will guide us into imagining and re-imagining stewardship for this new day. Over the course of four sessions\, we’ll explore: \n\nWhy does stewardship need to be broken open?\nWhat story or stories is God inviting us to be a part of?\nWhat are new ways that we might be invited to take faithful steps as stewards of God’s love?\nWho might we invite to join us in this work?\n\nDeacon Timothy will not be leading this series alone. He is inviting some of his wise and wonderful stewardship friends from across the larger church to join us and share their insights\, questions\, and ideas with us too. \nTogether through conversation\, presentation\, the sharing of resources\, and plenty of time for your questions\, we’ll discover\, explore\, and walk away with new insights and some tangible plans for stewardship in your congregational contexts for the year ahead. \nJoin us in this time of discovery and exploration together\, by registering today! \nIt is highly encouraged to attend all four sessions. However\, we know that life happens\, so if you might miss one session\, know that all sessions will be recorded. There will also be some suggested work to practice through between sessions to continue learning and exploring outside of each Zoom session. \nWorkshop Leaders\nDeacon Timothy will not be leading this series alone. He is inviting some of his wise and wonderful stewardship friends from across the larger church to join us and share their insights\, questions\, and ideas with us too. \nSpecial Guests joining us for this time together include: \n\nSarah Callahan\, Executive Director of Lutheran Giving\, Omaha Nebraska\nPastor Emily Carson\, Assistant to the Bishop\, Director for Evangelical Mission & Financial Administrator\, Southeastern Minnesota Synod of the ELCA\nKaren Johnson Kretschmann\, Coordinator for Storytelling Engagement\, ELCA Mission Support\nRev. Dr. Martin Otto Zimmann\, Senior Director of Kindling Faith at United Lutheran Seminary & Executive Director of Stewardship of Life Institute\n\nTogether through conversation\, presentation\, the sharing of resources\, and plenty of time for your questions\, we’ll discover\, explore\, and walk away with new insights and some tangible plans for stewardship in your congregational contexts for the year ahead. \nDates & Times\n\nThursdays for 4 weeks\, beginning June 4 th\n12:00-1:00pm CDT each week\nTotal contact time: 4.0 hours (eligible for 4 Continuing Education hours)\n\nCost\n\nPMA student (for credit): $55\nNon-PMA student/general participant: $25\n\nContinuing Education Hours\n4.0 CE hours available for participants who complete the series
