“And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.” Colossians 1:10
Fulfilling God’s Purpose! is a 3– or 4–week stewardship program. The fourth week is optional, depending on the amount of time you allot to it, but all of the materials are included. When God’s Word and love fill our hearts and minds, our stewardship is not limited to specific acts but, instead, becomes a lifestyle of using our time, talents and treasure in the service of God’s Kingdom. With transformed hearts, we express our faith in the way we live our lives. Through faith, God provides motivation and power to live the Christian life in a growing awareness of redeeming grace.
Program Resource Materials All program materials needed to run this program for either 3 or 4 weeks, depending on the time you allow, are all downloadable at our Parish Resource Center, including theme essays for each week, a 26–page Devotional booklet and Bible studies! We believe that the program will be equally successful using either three or four weeks to run it, so deciding to use it as a three– or four-week program simply depends on what you determine will work best for your congregation. There is nothing else to buy ... the cost includes all materials! Period. The easy–to–use files are organized logically in both MS Word and PDF formats.
Note: This program has no printed materials ... the files are downloadable only. All Theme Essays (provided in both tri-fold and letter formats), Devotional booklet and Bible studies are included. There is absolutely nothing else to buy!
Upon ordering, we will email you a Username and Password. All resources can be downloaded at the Parish Resource Center and are easily edited to include church logo, etc. (if desired).

"The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it." Psalm 24:1
Because God is the owner and we are the managers, we are responsible and accountable to God for what we do with all that he entrusts to us. This program helps us acknowledge our identity and purpose as stewards, so we will view our stewardship as active and involved participation rather than a passive caretaker role.

because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”
1 Corinthians 15:58
Through God’s grace, you are given time, talents, and resources to be the Lord’s instrument here on earth. Scripture is clear that God expects and deserves your best.

Living Each Day as a Steward! is a very popular 3–week stewardship program. Transformed by God’s Spirit working through Word and Sacraments, we are enabled to understand both our identity and purpose as God’s stewards. As a result, we live each day as stewards.

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” Malachi 3:10
Tithing: A Leap of Faith! is a 3-week stewardship program that inspires “a leap of faith” to increased giving for a 10–week period following the program ... and beyond. It is designed to foster a higher level of commitment to the Lord.
During the three main weeks of the program, it focuses on conveying the importance of our commitment to God through tithing and encourages members to prayerfully consider an increased level of giving (up to a full tithe) for a ten-week period immediately following the program. During these ten weeks, the program continues to reinforce your members’ commitment to increased giving with additional resources that inspire and encourage the faith to give.
This educational and challenging program, based on God’s Word, will help your members take a “leap of faith” in their giving. It will inspire members to give joyfully and generously. For the first time many of your members will tithe, some will surpass the tithe, and others will grow in their giving.
