The Stewardship Steering Team works with the lead minister and staff to develop a culture of generosity and the practice of taking care of what is loved at ERUUF.
Why is a culture of generosity a primary focus for stewardship?
- Generosity enhances the wellbeing of those to whom it is given, and the act of generosity enhances and heightens the spirituality of those who freely express it.
- Mindful generosity helps us, in a very tangible way, to directly support that which enhances our own personal, spiritual, and moral values and beliefs.
- Fostering the practice of generosity and stewardship is important to ensure that our community continues to thrive, by nurturing all the people and means that enable and support the spiritual mission of ERUUF.
The Stewardship Team has been convened by the Coordinating Team to serve as a consultative body for all stewardship activities at ERUUF. Its mission is to
- Develop educational and outreach resources that help ERUUFians grow in their understanding of stewardship at ERUUF and the spiritual and practical aspects of money management and giving.
- Ensure clarity and alignment of all major stewardship activities at ERUUF: Who is asked, what is asked for (time, treasure and/or talent), and the timing of ask.
- Identify areas for collaboration and/or coordination among the various entities that conduct stewardship activities at ERUUF and identify potential areas of duplication.
- Help identify solutions to challenges faced by any of the stewardship teams.
- Maintain a compendium of past approaches to stewardship activities.
