� Another Fund-Raising campaign?
o we like fund-raising and people respond well to it
o it buys us time...
� ...but it fails to tackle our fundamental problem and will not secure our future
� Or a new approach to Stewardship?
o Not a ‘quick-hit’ campaign
o Something we think about, pray about, talk about in our services, meetings, newssheets, website etc
o A long-term programme...
