Parish StewardshipPromoters Network (PSPs) • What is this network? • Will it involve extra work at the parish end?
What is the aim of the PSP network? Our goal • to create a network of people (PSPs) who will nurture and sustain healthy stewardship in each parish. Our vision • Their work will help to motivate our church members as they offer the gifts that God has given them in His abundant generosity.
Is this network something new? Will it involve extra work at the parish end? How does this fit in with what we are already doing? • PCC Treasurer • Churchwarden • Planned Giving Secretary • Gift Aid Secretary • Chair of the Stewardship Group
Bishop John on the PSP network:Christian Stewardship is an inseparable part of our Christian journey and discipleship. • How do we respond to the boundless generosity of God himself? • Are we supporting people in planning their saving, giving and spending?
