StewardshipStewardship That Works!
Presented by the Stewardship Development and Interpretation Committee

Come learn about effective stewardship programs being used in our presbytery's churches. These are programs that work!

We are presenting programs that we know are supporting budgets, missions and ministry. Come experience the good news and be prepared to share your own ideas, questions and experiences.

WebReinvigorate Your Church’s Website
Leader: Bruce Wilbur, Presbytery Webmaster

How effective is your web site? How effective is ours?

Every web site needs improvement and regular freshening. Join us as we review and critique web sites within the Presbytery, and compare them to selected benchmark sites.

RetreatMission Trips, Retreats, and Other Mountaintops… Connecting Spiritual Highs and Faith Formation
Leaders: Niki Brodeur, Coordinator for Youth Ministry, First Presbyterian Church of Pittsford; and Jane Carden, Youth Ministry Coordinator, Third Presbyterian Church

There are many opportunities for mountaintop experiences when you work with teenagers, such as retreats, short term mission trips, outreach events, etc. But how do we make these experiences an integral part of our teens’ faith formation, rather than afterthoughts?

Come for ideas and suggestions to meld mission and faith formation, as well as the opportunity to share the mountaintop scenes from your youth ministry with others.
