A list of video-driven resources on Biblical principles on finances and stewardship that can be used for a one-hour class.

Stewardship Resources That Fit One Hour Sessions

Each week, highlight an element in the service that coincides with the offering time. Set this on a monthly routine:
- **Week 1**: Show an Impact Video that tells the story of a direct life impact from a ministry funded by our budget.
- **Week 2**: Show a Testimony Video that tells the personal impact that giving has had on a family or how they grew spiritually through giving.
- **Week 3**: Show a short Educational Video that uses scripture to teach a spiritual lesson on giving.
- **Week 4**: Have a “Money Moment” – such as board member on stage to lead people
through a bulletin insert called Money Moment. This highlights a couple of recent wins
(attendance, ministry growth, giving increase, etc.) and a couple of areas to improve and
then the board member asks our members to get involved and help.<sup>1</sup>


_Alternatives to this routine might be:_
- **Week 1**: Capture a 45-second testimony of life change from someone in a small group or class in your church.
- **Week 2**: Show a video of a community service activity by members of your church.
- **Week 3**: Show a testimony from student ministry volunteer or other volunteer sharing wins.
- **Week 4**: Show a testimony from a missions’ organization sharing about their work across the globe.
  

After each of these stories (shared by a 45 to 90 second video during the offering moment) remind the congregation that “this happens because of your generous giving.” Then show the giving link on the screen for 30 seconds.  

When you receive a special donation, consider asking a giver if there is a story behind the gift that they are willing to share publicly with your congregation. This could inspire others to share giving opportunities with significant life impact as a result of generosity.
