Rev. Kim James' Sermons for the First UMC "World Series of Stewardship"
Baseball-Themed  Stewardship Drive Fall 2018
Oct. 7, 2018--"Step Up to the Plate:  Be Willing to Share"
Oct. 14, 2018--"Get a Base Hit:  Plan for Giving"
Oct. 21, 2018--"Increase Runners Batted In:  Encourage Others"
Oct. 28, 2018--"Hit a Home Run: Bring in the Tithe"

Note that each Sunday had a lay speaker (3 min) on the same/similar theme.  Pledge cards were brought to church on Oct. 28 and placed in the giant baseball glove made by a crafty lady in the church.  As you can see from reading the sermons, to be current you'd have to do this during baseball playoffs and World Series and get your own illustrations.  

The only print materials were October newsletter article and one letter midway that contained Stewardship FAQs,  pledge card, electronic giving sign-up form, and return envelope.  Follow up letter was sent to those who hadn't turned in pledges on Oct. 28 or soon after.
