Of particular interest, you may wish to consult the article entitled, Where Is God In My Life With Money by Menzi Nkambule.

Our Ministry Together – Video Series

Our Ministry Together is a series of videos that were created to highlight various sections of the Eastern Synod Budget. These areas are supported to some extent by congregational Benevolence. Videos may be used to enrich conversations at various levels, and are intended to provide context to various levels of our ministry together. Videos are available on our YouTube Channel, or can be downloaded from the Eastern Synod Worship Resources Library.
