Creating Cultures of Generosity

Pat Springle had an article on Leadership Network (Click here for article) about creating cultures of generosity in congregations that is worth reading. It reinforces the principles that stewardship is linked to a sense of and participation in mission and that motivation begins with the generosity of God, not just in material things, but in His grace in Jesus Christ.
Stewardship and a culture of generosity are not a program. They are a blessing and an attitude that permeate everything we say, are and do. This is the motivation behind Consecrated Stewards as well as our Capital Funding ministries.

The article reinforces what CS is all about--developing the loving response of God's people to God's love for them.
