Have any of you ever gone through a transition like this? Is there anything we should keep in mind as we discern this as a church or as we make the transition?

My husband and I go back and forth on this (usually after doing our taxes and finding inconsistencies).  Staci Devries https://network.crcna.org/topic/spiritual-formation/stewardship/do-you-automate-your-tithing Tue, 08 May 2018 12:00:00 +0000 https://network.crcna.org/topic/spiritual-formation/stewardship/utilizing-dave-ramseys-financial-peace-university-materials I just spoke with a church that is working with their Christian School system to put on a seminar utilizing Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University material. Has your church or diaconate organized any training events utilizing this material?

To me, the day serves as a reminder to think about the causes we care about and how we support them.
