STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE (a committee of the Board of Trustees.)
Our mission is to create a culture of stewardship, one in which stewardship is recognized as an essential part of EOCC's mission and vision, and a way of thinking and acting throughout the year.
If you would like to help build such a culture by joining the committee and/or volunteering with an event, speak with any member of the committee ---Danielle Fogg, Doug Fogg, Angela Hobson, Trease Hodge, Tanya Kingsbury, Kara Schreiber, Rachelle Seward--- or contact the main office at (207) 825-3404.
EVERY GIFT. EVERY PERSON. ONE PURPOSE.
Every gift - If you've read the article in the most recent Pen of Power, you saw a long list, and not even a complete one, of all the gifts of good stewardship that are available for you to give!
Every person - None of us needs to be rich, or overly talented; no super-hero status required; Each person just needs to have the desire to do and give, whatever the action, whatever the amount.
One purpose: Stewardship is the careful and responsible management of what has been entrusted to us - in other words, as Christians, that means everything God has given to us. Big purpose, but we don't have to do it all at once;
We can do it gift-by-gift, person-by-person, moment-by-moment.Here's What's Next:
Our focus this period is COMMUNICATION, an important aspect of every organization. The Strategic Plan Committee received feedback in its most recent survey about a need for better, consistent, and more accessible communication about all the wonderful things going on at EOCC. Funds will go towards systems and methods that will help improve communication. Specifically, we are looking at a digital calendar system that will prominently display an events calendar upstairs and downstairs. We are researching technology that will allow us to interface with the community as well: The more information we can share and the more effectively we can share it, the greater the chance that we will connect with someone who doesn't know all that we do and offer, and who isn't aware of our mission and our commitment to our communities.
