Here's an idea: Send this list
of my favorite stewardship quotations to each family
in your church, ask them to choose one, then tell them you'll be
inviting them to tell you what it means during worship sometime this
summer. Print them in the bulletin for the next 12 weeks or post them
on the sanctuary walls. Then create an impromptu interview during the
announcements from now until your stewardship campaign kicks in this
fall. Each Monday this summer I'll be posting 10 more for your use.
31. Bring your health and your strength to the
weak and sickly, and so you will be of use to them. Give them, not your
weakness, but your energy, so you will revive and lift them up. Life alone can
rekindle life. - Henri Frederic Amiel
32. If you love Jesus work for justice.
Anybody can honk. - Bumper sticker
33. So long as we love, we serve. So long as
we are loved by others, I would almost say we are indispensable; and no man is
useless while he has a friend. - Robert Louis Stevenson
34. There is no love which does not become
help. - Paul Tillich
35. You can give without loving, but you cannot
love without giving. - Amy Carmichael
36. No act of kindness, no matter how small,
is ever wasted. - Aesop
37. How wonderful it is that nobody need wait
a single moment before starting to improve the world. - Anne Frank
38. Strive to be the servant of all; for acting
thus, you’ll do more for yourself than others. - Teresa of Avila
39. Nobody has one chance in a billion of
being thought really great after a century has passed except those who have
been the servants of all. That strange realist from Bethlehem knew that. - Harry Emerson Fosdick
40. The measure of a person is not the number of servants they have but in the number of people they serve. - Paul D. Moody
