CreativeStewardship.ca is intended to provide churches in the Anglican Diocese of Rupert’s Land, and related organizations, with:
Analysis
Information
Resources
to help us all respond to:
Changing times,
New conditions emerging,
New opportunities to renew the church.

We have two videos online;

Link here for a video about Narrative Budgeting. This is a short tutorial on how to create the kind of church budget that tells your story – storytelling with numbers – and builds support for your mission and ministries. 

This video has been rendered into a pdf which can presented like a powerpoint. It also contains a few extra discussion questions. The pdf can be viewed here. Right-click to download.

And this workshop has led to a Narrative Report for the Northern Manitoba Area Mission — called Pitching Our Tent —which you can view here.

There are further plans for a video on Narrative Reporting. Stay tuned.

Link here for another video about Quarantine and Church Renewal. This one is a treatment of how the church should respond to the pandemic and the quarantine, and how we might turn a potential disaster into an opportunity for church renewal. We’re looking at possibly a further video entitled Post-Quarantine and Church Renewal in the near future.

Finally, we have an online survey designed to help parishioners learn how they might get more engaged with their church, and suggest areas where they might offer their time and their talents. Stewardship, after all, is about engagement. The survey is here, and a short video to walk you through the survey can be found here.
