I have a very long stewardship journey beginning 1976-1980 as an LCMS Associate Stewardship Counselor and in the late 90's served as the Director of the Mission Development Unit. Today, after retiring in '14 as the Director of Ministry Advancement for Lutheran Hour Ministries, I am serving on several Lutheran RSO Boards. I am interested in attending the Stewardship Conference. However, while I may try to recruit one or more of the Pastors of my multi-campus congregation, I am not sure I can put together a team to attend the Conference from my congregation. What it still be beneficial, as a lay leader not only of my congregations but a number of LCMS RSO's, for me to attend?
