WUMF is strengthening our marketing in the upcoming year. We invest money for Wisconsin Methodist churches through Baird using faith-aligned investing in the Book of Discipline. We want to make sure every church knows, understands, and engages the Foundation as part of investment exploration. Our website, wumf.org, is a great place to get started, or call us at 608-837-9582 for an accounts review. We also offer services brochures, emails, a social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, stewardship educational opportunities and promotional postcards. We are here for you.

The July edition of the WUMF Stewardship newsletter is now available! View it at www.wumf.org/church-newsletter-help.

Stewardship isn't simply about reaching financial goals. It's about helping people recognize that generosity is one way we participate in God's ongoing work in the world.
And speaking of learning to tell better stories, there is still time to register for the Wisconsin United Methodist Foundation's Stewardship Conference at Pine Lake Camp on August 14-15.
This year's conference will focus on leadership, storytelling, generosity, and practical tools to help churches cultivate generous disciples throughout the year. Whether you're a pastor, stewardship team member, finance leader, trustee, or simply someone who cares deeply about your congregation's mission, you'll leave with
ideas, encouragement, and resources you can immediately put into practice.
