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 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.
