Grow Generosity: Your 2026 Stewardship Calendar is Here! 

“I’m getting married in the morning…” Oh no. Not me, dear readers. My daughter Rachel is getting married to the wonderful Peyton on Saturday. And yes, it’s a church wedding, so “ding, dong the bells are gonna chime.”
 
You and I know there are a million details to attend to with such an affair. So, you can only guess what I was doing yesterday – baking dog treats. Because, well, you know, priorities. Scout, the dog, was very appreciative.
 
Speaking of priorities, your 2026 Stewardship Calendar is here. Let the fun begin!
 
This calendar can be used in a variety of ways:

  • Inspiring you to create a culture where gratitude is at the forefront and talking about money is not to be feared.

  • As a jumping off point for you to add your own creativity.

  • Keeping you on track to do certain things at certain times of the year.


Feel free to use the Stewardship Calendar in any way that keeps you and your congregation moving forward. If you’d like to personalize it, drop me an email, and I’ll send you a Word version.
 
And, as always, if you find yourself hitting a roadblock or even if you have what you think is a “dumb question” (which no question is…), please, feel free to give me a call or email me. It’s why I’m here.
 
Now if you’ll forgive me, it’s time to get back to getting the wedding details finished up. On second thought, maybe there’s an episode of House Hunters International to watch. Oh, what the heck, I’ll start a jigsaw puzzle. Prayers are welcome!
