This resource has been jointly prepared for use in both the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches using some of the material initially prepared by Response, the joint Presbyterian and Methodist Stewardship and Mission Education Unit. We have brought together from the five Response Kits material to enable parishes to focus on stewardship during Sunday worship. Material is ordered under the headings of liturgy. We suggest you use it as starters to make the service relevant to your own parish worship and mission.
Additional material to supplement the Response resources has been written by the Revs Doug Rogers and Clare Lind and Ray Wilderspin has selected appropriate hymns.
Please respect our copyright by acknowledging the material where appropriate. (Copyright permission was given for the Response material when it was initially presented.)
