Stewardship Resources
For many, many years, the National Office ordered and sent out copies of the North American Ecumenical Stewardship Resource – Giving Magazine – to all ELCIC congregations free of charge. This annual publication, along with supporting resources, provided a wealth of stewardship content for congregations. In 2021, the organization that oversaw this resource voted to dissolve the organization so the magazine is no longer produced, but 40 years of Giving Magazine resources are now available DIGITALLY! All of these resources are available at no cost through the Lake Institute. To view these, visit: https://lakeinstitute.org/resource-library/ecumenical-stewardship-center-resources/
Conversation on Gratitude and Generosity
Developed by the National Office, this “conversation starter” will help you explore your experience of gratitude and generosity, and become more comfortable sharing this aspect of our faith. Resources for this are minimal, just two people (can even be done individually as a personal reflection) and approximately 30 minutes to devote to the discussion. Use this in your congregation, your Bible study group, or even for your own family’s personal stewardship development.

Every year the ELCIC produces Annual Report Covers that can be used by any ELCIC congregation or ministry as a cover to your annual report. Included on the Annual Report Covers are devotions to open and close your annual meeting.
To order the 2024/25 Annual Report Covers, please use the following link: https://form.jotform.com/ELCIC/2024-annual-report-covers
**While the resources are available free of charge from the National Office, your congregation is invited to consider covering the postage cost to send these out (approx. $25 per package). We anticipate starting to mail these out at the end of October 2024.
Digital copies of previous years are available via the following links:
