A Monthly Metropolis Ministries Series
Equipping and Enriching Parish Life
Equipping a Stewardship Chair and Their Committee
The Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco Stewardship Ministry continues the monthly series “Equipping and Enriching Parish Life”. Please join us on Monday, December 19 at 5:00 p.m. PST for a special presentation on “Equipping a Stewardship Chair and Their Committee”. This webinar will be hosted by Metropolis Stewardship Ministry leader Steve Pappas who will welcome our dedicated and very knowledgeable presenters, Father James Kordaris and Bill Marianes. True Christian Stewardship brings forth the many talents, treasures, and time that God has provided each of us and is the foundation on which our parishes flourish. A great Stewardship program is led by a strong Stewardship Chair or Chairs. And these Stewardship Chairs only succeed with the support of a great Stewardship Committee. Come join us to hear from the leading Stewardship experts in our Archdiocese on how you can strengthen your own parish’s True Christian Stewardship. As always, come prepared to learn, to ask questions, and share your experiences with us.
