GIVE THANKS. LIVE GENEROUSLY.
The diocesan development/stewardship committee has compiled these resources to assist you with year-round stewardship in your congregations. If you have any questions, please contact Canon Jason Evans, jevans@edsd.org.
TENS
Our diocese has an annual membership with The Episcopal Network for Stewardship (TENS). TENS organizes your annual stewardship campaign resources by liturgical year, beginning Advent One and continuing through Christ the King. Resources are added as created, and the entire campaign package will be ready by the end of May. You may log in and use the resources by going to https://www.tens.org/. Our EDSD password is Ephesians5:2 (please note that it is case sensitive and there are no spaces)

EPISCOPAL CHURCH FOUNDATION (ECF)

PROVINCE VIII
Our Episcopal Province hosts monthly virtual meetings for the Network for Stewardship Planned Giving, Grants, Investments, and Endowments. To participate contact Peter Juve at pjuve@aol.com.
HOLY CURRENCIES
Holy Currencies is a holistic model for stewardship and congregational vitality, moving beyond “time, talent, and treasure” to create missional and sustainable ministries. This model, with its processes, enables church leaders to understand, develop, and utilize five other kinds of currencies besides money that are essential for creating sustainable and missional ministries. Details here.
