Building Stewardship:  Relationships

From communication we develop relationships. We cannot love one another  unless we speak our minds and hear what is in each others hearts.

Our world today presents many obstacles to building relationships, particularly for the parish leader. The press of responsibility, the hundreds of tasks that bring us to the evening wondering where the day has gone. And yet consider the smile that comes with a note, an e-mail that is not demanding something from you, but giving. In a day filled with meetings, going through spam, tossing junk mail and dodging telemarketing calls, consider the value of receiving a thoughtful, in-depth note from your pastor containing thoughts for the season, ideas on social justice, sharing dreams and visions for the community.

If you spent all day doing nothing but writing such notes to your parishioners, you could never do as much as you wanted to. And yet, through today’s technology, you can provide just such quality, relationship-building communication.

Parish Growth Partners can help you develop just such a communications program that is delivered in an attractive format that shows you care about each parishioner.
