Description: To encourage stewardship in your parish Sixty-Second Stewardship Sermons assists pastors in developing a theology of stewardship and provides guidelines on how to construct stewardship sermons. Charles Cloughen, Jr., also offers over one hundred forty stewardship sermons written by outstanding stewardship leaders from the Catholic Church and other denominations to be picked up or to serve as inspiration in writing new sermons. These stewardship sermons may be incorporated into the regular sermon at Mass or printed in the bulletin but are primarily designed to stand alone and be given at the time of the offertory.

In many Christian churches, an awkward moment comes before and during the Offertory. Many clergy ignore this moment to teach and miss the chance to continue stewardship education at an opportune point in the service. The Offertory and the time used in preparing the elements for Communion are a natural lead-in to stewardship education.

Stewardship is thanksgiving. It is giving thanks for all God has given us: all of our time, our talents, and our treasure. Stewardship is how we manage our entire lives and includes what we give back to God. The future of our churches depends on instilling in the present and future generations of church members the importance of giving generously of time, talents, and treasure to God's work. Sixty-Second Stewardship Sermons offers a way to share the concepts of stewardship with your church members.
