NT-NL News: March 2018, Fourth Monday

March 26, 2018 | NT–NL News By Jason O'Neill

Pathways to Generosity: Signs of Hope

Join the ELCA and our ecumenical partners for this stewardship conference, April 3-5, held at one of our NT-NL congregations: King of Glory, Dallas. Full details can be found here: stewardshipresources.org/pathways.


2018 Synod Assembly Book of Reports

The Book of Reports is now available online. If you requested and paid for a hard copy, you should receive that by Friday of this week. Updates will be made online as we receive them.

Stewardship and Service

As members of the ELCA, we believe that we are freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor.

How do we respond to God’s call to serve and love our neighbors? We faithfully steward the gifts God has so abundantly given to us. Although some think of stewardship as only a financial response to God’s love, stewardship encompasses so much more than money. It is about how we use all that God has entrusted to our care — our time, our talents and our treasures — to love God and our neighbors, both inside and outside of the church walls and our homes.

Keith Mundy, ELCA Director for Area Ministry Stewardship, recently led a discussion on giving with ELCA members from across the country. Find out more at elca.org/stewardship. And here is a direct link to resources on stewardship: elca.org/Resources/Stewardship.

If you missed the event on Saturday, March 3, here are the vimeo links for the full stewardCast and the various segments:

Featured Resources for March

Bishop Eaton’s Leadership Initiative

The Leadership Initiative encourages all of us to seek out and inspire gifted people in our congregations and communities to consider a call to the ministry of the gospel. If you know someone who shows a gift for ministry, help mentor and foster them. Together — pastors, deacons, lay people – we can bring the word of God to the world.

On this page, you will find resources to guide discussions and offer inspiration for conversations and individual reflection on becoming a leader within the ELCA. Check back often as this page is updated with more resources and a variety of other testimonials from leaders of this church.

If you wish to find our more about being a leader in the church, please contact us.
