• November 10: "Ending the Year Well" Workshop with GSB

    In the United States, around 1/3 of all charitable giving happens between Thanksgiving and the end of the year. How can your congregation tap into that amazing generosity? 


    In most congregations December stands as the largest giving month of the year, often allowing congregations to finish in the black. What if you could do more than that? 


    On Tuesday, November 10 at 7:00 Rev. Pete Reuss of GSB Fundraising will provide simple and practical steps to inviting end of year generosity. Hint: you will get to think beyond your budget and consider God's call for your ministry.
