April is a busy month in the life of the church. Lent is coming to a close, and Holy Week is coming quickly. But it is still important to maintain a consistent stewardship team meeting schedule. If your pastor is directly involved – and they should be – schedule your meeting earlier in the month so they can attend. You may also decide to have a shorter meeting, or a lunchtime meeting, if that’s easier for all involved.
