Stewardship Transformation
The article below is preprinted with permission by our synod’s newspaper, The Reporter. There are some larger
words to navigate in this piece, but it’s content is worth the read. It’s point: Many modern churches have
redefined Stewardship [Biblical managing and presenting gifts to God from His people] into
a sort of business transaction that is stripped of sacrificial giving. We have shifted to writing
a check to pay bills instead of spiritually giving from the heart back to the Lord and Giver of
Life, Christ. With Loyalty Sunday coming on [Add date], we want to recapture the meaning
and intent of heartfelt Stewardship. Read this, tell us what you think. Blessings - Pastor Dave
1
There is a general consensus among leaders in the
area of stewardship about the existence of a shift in
the functional understanding of Christian stewardship
both in its teaching and in practice within the local
congregation. In past generations of stewardship lions
of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) like
John Herrmann, the teaching of stewardship was much
more direct. There was a clear expectation that
members of the congregation would support the
ministry of the local congregation with a total, whole
life stewardship. That teaching of stewardship and the
expectations that go with it was what fueled the
massive growth of the LCMS in the first half of the
20th century. The congregations, schools and
treasured institutions of the church today were made
possible because of it.
But that kind of stewardship is no longer practiced on
the grand scale in our church body. Where stewardship
was once formed and informed by sound catechesis,
now far too often, we find that it is driven by far less
sanctified and far more pragmatic forces. This change
in focus has amputated the functional connection of
stewardship from its rightful connection to the altar,
pulpit and baptismal font. The pressures of expanded
ministries, more equitable pay for church workers and
skyrocketing benefit costs have caused an ever-rising
and unfortunate idea that stewardship is a transaction
designed for the preservation of the institution. This
pragmatism gives rise to cynicism in both the
leadership of the congregation and among the people
in the pew. This stewardship cynicism leads to
stewardship sin. What should be a grateful response
of undeserving sinners to an inestimably gracious Lord
becomes a tool to manipulate what ministry is done in
the local congregation. Debt is built up on a corporate
level and without consideration of the limitation to the
Gospel. Individual Christians allow their pet feelings
about individual ministries and ministers to determine
if they will be faithful stewards. In many ways modern
stewardship is horribly broken.
This broken modern version of stewardship needs
transformation. What is needed is more than a
pragmatic fix. Fixes are mechanical. There are well-intentioned
but wrong-headed comments like: “If
everyone in worship would only give $5 more every
week we would have all the money we need to pay the
bills!” While the statement may contain a factual truth,
it does not lead the listener to respond in faith and
obedience to the baptismal call we have to faithful
stewardship. Any teaching of stewardship centered on
something other than on the work of the Holy Spirit in
the lives of the baptized is fatally flawed. It is a fix that
is focused on human beings that will always run afoul
of the Gospel. These fixes reduce stewardship to a
transaction. The currency might be financial, a service
or the sharing of a talent, but it is a transaction
nonetheless.
But our Lord does not call His Church to a stewardship
that is nothing more than a transaction. The Lord calls
us to a stewardship transformation. That

2. 2
transformation happens in both the heart and life of
both the giver and receiver. An example of this is
found in Luke 19 where we meet that familiar character
Zacchaeus. The story is very familiar. That scoundrel
Zacchaeus heard that Jesus was coming. He wanted to
see Jesus, but because he was short and regarded as
a rat by the people he taxed, there wasn’t going to
have someone in the crowd give up a spot for him. So
to “fix” matters he climbs a tree. But as Jesus passed
by, He calls up to Zacchaeus and a transformation
begins. With Jesus present in his home and seated at
his table, Zacchaeus is transformed. He first promises
alms for the poor and then quadruple restitution for
anyone he has defrauded. Now that is a
transformation! From being self-centered, materialistic
and deceitful to being extravagantly generous and
repentant all at the same time!
Congregations all across our beloved Synod would
love this kind of stewardship transformation! They
covet it because there are far more people in our pews
each week that are more like Zacchaeus than we would
care to admit. Rampant and pervasive materialism that
seeks its own desires is the hallmark of our modern
society and sadly far too often the hallmark of modern
stewardship within the local congregation. There is a
desire to manage all of life and life’s resources not for
the extension of the Lord’s kingdom but for the
building of our kingdom.
A closer look at Luke 19 reveals the secret to the
transformation that took place in Zacchaeus and that
is longed for in our day. No cleverly devised
stewardship program is presented in Luke 19. There
wasn’t any coercion or manipulation by either emotion
or reason. The key to the stewardship transformation
was the presence of Jesus! Where the Lord is at work
as His Word is proclaimed and physically present in
the Sacrament, there transformation takes place.
People who are just as much scoundrels like Zacchaeus
who are encountered by the Means of Grace are
transformed by the working of the Holy Spirit as
stewards in the Lord’s kingdom.
But not all transformations in the area of stewardship
are as visibly instantaneous as that of Zacchaeus. A
person can be moved from no visible stewardship in
life to offering a full tithe as a result of one
stewardship sermon. It CAN happen that way but it
most often does not. More often than not the
transformation in a steward is gradual and frustratingly
slow in the face of the daily pressures within the
congregation! But just because the Holy Spirit-wrought
transformation isn’t visible doesn’t mean it isn’t
happening. The Lord worked first on the heart of
Zacchaeus that no one but He could see before the
visible actions took place. The same stewardship
transformation takes place on the heart level within the
hearts of stewards in worship each week. We may
grumble like those “good” folks in Luke 19 in the
process. But salvation and stewardship are coming to
the homes in the congregation in the process.
Here is where the stewardship leader and the
individual steward can take heart. The Lord is at work
growing stewards to this day. People are being
transformed daily. Sometimes this transformation is
visible and swift, but most often it is not. It is not up to
us to cajole or manipulate. It is simply up to us to
open up every opportunity to get people where the
Lord is at work. Preach on stewardship! But deliver
Jesus not platitudes. Celebrate the Lord’s Supper in all
your services on a weekend. After all, that is nothing
more than sinners kneeling at the table with the same
Jesus who transformed a thieving tax collector into a
generous steward and promises to do the same
among His people today. It is about Jesus not us! It is
about a return to the font, the altar and the pulpit.
Repentance worked by the Holy Spirit is the
stewardship transformation that is needed.
Stewardship programs are for the most part
transactional. There are good and noble stewardship
transactions that need to be done regularly. A pledge
is an example of this. Zacchaeus made one after his
transformational encounter with Jesus. But those
transactions are only good works when they flow from
the stewardship transformation worked in an individual
Christian. Make the goal of your stewardship preaching
and practice biblical. That means it needs to be
transformational! Embrace the task. Share the Word.
Celebrate the Supper. Let the Lord do His work in the
stewards to whom you preach. Let Him transform you,
too!
Stewardship in a congregation can’t be “fixed.”
Stewardship in a Christian can’t be fixed. It can only be
transformed. Only the Lord can do that in us.

3. LWML NEWS
LWML Sunday - October 5
Wear purple on October 5 to help celebrate LWML Sunday. The Lutheran Women's Missionary
League reminds us that ALL women at Our Saviour are members of our LWML. Some choose
to be active by serving in leadership. Others help out with projects whenever they can. Still
others collect change for their mite boxes and gladly add it to the rest of the donations on the
second Sunday of every month.
What are mite boxes? Here's an article from LWML.org about the history of mite boxes:
The Widow's Mite
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting
their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor
widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Calling his
disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury
than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth, but she, out of her poverty, put in
everything - all she had to live on" (Mark 12:41-43)
Mite Boxes - How They Began
Perhaps inspired by the various "cent" or "mite" societies of the early 1800s,
the Woman's Mission to Woman (Baptist) urged members in its first circular
letter in 1871 to use their new mite box to raise funds. The entire family was
encouraged to contribute. The garnet-colored paper box had an opening on
the top and the words, "Woman's Mission to Woman," in gold letters on the
side.
St. Paul's Counsel on Giving
And now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian
churches. Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up
in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their
ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this
service to the saints. And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the
Lord and then to us in keeping with God's will. So we urged Titus, since he had earlier made a
beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part. But just as you excel in
everything - in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us -
see that you also excel in this grace of giving (2 Corinthians 8:1-7).
LWML Mite Boxes
Over the years, many Lutheran Ladies Aid societies used a box to
gather funds in support of local and synod ministries. Under the original
1928 Lutheran Women's Missionary Endeavor organizational plan, each
woman in every congregation would receive a Mite Box if she
participated in the Ladies Aid. Receipts from the 92 Ladies Aid societies
totaled $6,651.31 in 1930.
The Lutheran Women's Missionary League, formally recognized
by the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod in 1942, required by the newly adopted constitution
and bylaws, that 25% of all missionary contributions be given to the national organization,
shared from the districts.
3

4. At the 1953 convention, delegates reaffirmed the policy of raising funds only through
voluntary offerings. Instead of "mite boxes" some societies called their ingathering devices
"blessing boxes" or "mission boxes" or "thankoffering boxes." The first Mite Box design had
space for districts to imprint local messages. In publications and speeches, Leaguers were
reminded not to just tuck their Mite Box away out of sight and then on the day of the meeting
take out a dollar bill, put it in an envelope and hand it to the secretary. Among the suggestions
offered were:
• Put your pennies in the box at the end of each day
• Say "thank you" with an appropriate amount whenever calamity or misfortune has been averted
• Empty all your loose change from your kitchen coin bowl into the box on meeting day
Throughout the decades, Lutheran women have stepped out in faith, setting goals and trusting
God to move the hearts of His people to give generously to LWML to proclaim the Gospel.
Times and Mite Boxes Change
Mite boxes have changed in color and design over the years, but what has never changed is the
dedication of freely given offerings for the purpose of reaching out to others with the Good News
of Jesus Christ. Districts still retain 75% of mite offerings for the work of the LWML at that level.
National mites fund over $1 million in mission grants.

SUPER SALE RESULTS SSSUUUPPPEEERRR SSSAAALLLEEE RRREEESSSUUULLLTTTSSS IIIINNNN ‘‘‘‘SSSSUUUUPPPPEEEERRRR’’’’ PPPPRRRROOOOFFFFIIIITTTT
Another Super Sale is in the books and once again it was a great success. More than 50 people
volunteered over 1,000 hours of time to this project. Our profit, which went to the general fund,
was more than $5,500! Merchandise was donated, moved, cleaned, organized and tagged for sale.
Tables were set up and taken down, floors swept, merchandise left was packed up once again and
sent to Bethesda Thrift shop to benefit yet another charitable organization. Cinnamon rolls and
sloppy joes were made and sold. Hundreds of shoppers were greeted, assisted with carry out and
checked out. Hundreds of cardboard boxes were broken down and recycled. Signs were posted in
area businesses and set up outside to advertise our sale. Volunteers were organized and schedules
made. In addition, many other tasks were completed in order to have a rummage sale that is one of
the very best in the area. Again and again we are told that our merchandise is high quality and well
organized and is a sale that people look forward to year after year.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who helped in any way to make the sale special
once again. Of course, earning money for our church is important, but members working together
and forming friendships is another benefit. This sale is also an outreach to our community and gives
us a chance to make merchandise available to many at reasonable prices and to show our love for
the Lord through our service.
Next year’s sale is scheduled for Saturday, August 15, 2015. It is not too early to begin
collecting items for next year and thinking of how you can volunteer. As always, we ask you only
bring items that are clean and in good working condition. Please be respectful of the volunteers who
must go through your donations and don’t bring anything you would not buy yourself. Please DO
NOT bring: clothing, shoes, reference books, magazines (fiction and cookbooks are OK), TVs (except
flat panel), cribs, car seats, computer printers or monitors. Linens and bedding with stains or holes
are also not acceptable. It would be appreciated if items brought were boxed and stackable. There
are boxes available in the basement if you need some.
If you have any questions or comments on the sale, please contact Jill Proulx at 465-1437 or

2015 MEN’S RETREAT – WAUWATOSA
6
The men of our congregation have
been invited to participate in the 15th
annual Men’s retreat put on by three
churches in the South Wisconsin District
of our Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
The men from Our Redeemer
(Wauwatosa), First Immanuel (Cedarburg)
and Divine Redeemer (Hartland) have
been hosting the retreat annually since
2000. The theme for this year’s retreat is
“The Samson Syndrome.” It is based on
the book written by Pastor Mark Atteberry
from Kissimmee, Florida.
Samson was hand-picked by the
Lord to lead the children of Israel in a
revolt against the Philistines who had
been oppressing them for 40 years.
Instead of leading a revolt Samson
becomes a selfish minded playboy who
squanders away his talents and his life.
Pastor Atteberry points out in the book
that men living in 2014 and 2015
squander away their spiritual lives just as
Samson did in his life.
In the book Pastor Atteberry lists
twelve tendencies that contributed to
Samson’s fall and why men living today
also fall with their spiritual lives. He offers
positive suggestions to men today from
taking a spiritual fall in their spiritual
lives. Some of the tendencies that led to
Samson’s downfall and our present day
lives include: disregarding boundaries;
struggling with lust; ignoring good advice;
breaking rules; big egos; taking foolish
risks; and losing sight of the big picture.
All of our sectionals on Saturday will
build men up spiritually to prevent a
spiritual fall.
Last year we had 147 men from 48
congregations represented at the retreat.
Bring a friend with you and learn together
how to prevent a spiritual fall in your
lives. Brochures for the retreat will be
available by mid-October. If you have any
questions about the retreat e-mail Jim
jnrberg67@gmail.com or call (414) 462-
5871.

9. VISIT LAMBEAU FIELD…AND EARN MONEY FOR OUR SAVIOUR!
The Packer season is in full swing and many members and friends have already worked during a game
in a Club Seat area concession stand (temperature controlled; we are INSIDE and not subject to
the wet fall or frigid winter weather) this season. We still have six home games to go…and
possibly playoffs if the Packer’s record gets better! Workers need to complete online
training at least 72 hours before the game (pick up a packet of information at the
Welcome Center). To properly run the stand, we need 20-25 workers for each game. Jobs
include set up, front counter, runner, food prep and clean up. You are welcome to work just one
game or as many as fit into your schedule. Contact the church office or Neil Burmeister (866-9088
or neilburm@yahoo.com) for more information.

Greetings From NEW Lutheran High!
For the first time, our local media did not include us in reporting ACT Test scores to the
greater Green Bay area. In order for you to know how we are doing and to help us celebrate, we
wanted to share the results from our 2014 graduating class with you directly.
The composite score for all of our graduates this year was 24.1, a higher score than any
public school in the entire region of Northeastern Wisconsin (the closest school scored at 23.8) and
the latest in a long line of annual achievements that is well above local, state and national
averages. This is a remarkable achievement and one that is notable considering the following:
• 95% of our students took the ACT Test.
• All students that took the test are included in the composite score for our school.
These two facts are important. When comparing our results with other schools in Brown,
Kewaunee, Door, Outagamie, Shawano, Oconto and Manitowoc counties, you will find that this is an
impressive accomplishment. In other words – our students are doing great things in the classroom!
Recognition for our excellence gets shared with our families, churches (from both the NEW
Lutheran association and other affiliated churches) and the amazing teachers in the Good NEWS
system of Lutheran schools. Without the support, prayers and contributions from all of you, this
remarkable achievement could not take place. Thank you so much!
Beyond the academic excellence demonstrated, we enjoy the benefits of offering academic,
music, drama, athletic and service-oriented activities to all of our students. We also provide our
students with many different ways to earn college credits while still enrolled at our school
(motivated students can earn as many as 24 college credits before graduation – almost a full year of
college!). Mission trips, international cultural opportunities, co-op work experiences and local
service projects help shape our students into strong citizens as well.
There are many things to celebrate but the most important thing we are thankful for is the
freedom to Help Families Prepare Christian Leaders on a daily basis. Our mission makes us
unique and it drives us to excel, not for worldly accolades but as a way to respond to God’s
unbelievable grace through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Won’t you join us again in celebrating our achievement! Thank you for the part you play in
the lives of the young people that attend our Lutheran schools. Blaze On!
Chris Nelson – Executive Director

10. Families and Friends of NEW Lutheran High,
This year we are focusing on a section of scripture from Proverbs 4:23-27 as our theme – Guard
your Hearts. In our world of ever-changing moral standards and temptations, the mission of NEW
Lutheran High takes on a more significant meaning with each passing day. Does our world need
Christian leaders? Yes! Can we help parents by re-emphasizing the Biblical lessons and worldview
that are taught in the home? Yes! The reality is, if we don’t do this, young people will have their
worldviews defined by the world in which they live. Lutheran High matters!
As we continue to advance our efforts in Christian education, we look for ways to partner with local
businesses, alumni & caring supporters to come along side and help our school. We are committed
to respectfully and responsibly manage God’s school at Lutheran High in a way that will bring Him
glory and will reflect His love in our world. That commitment means that we must look for ways for
those who care about our mission to help.
If you are a small business owner or manager in Northeastern Wisconsin or the Fox Valley and
would like to become a Blazer Business Partner, please contact me at 920.471.5754. There are
many ways to get your name out to the thousands in our school community. Banners, yearbook ads,
special event sponsorships, web ads & sports program advertising are just a few possibilities.
Also, for those committed individuals who would like to support the school on regular basis, the
Trailblazer Club (formerly called the Blazer Monthly Donor program) is a way to do just that. For
as little as $25 a month, or less than $1 a day, friends of the school can provide much-needed
operational support to help ensure the excellence in Christian education for which NEW Lutheran
High has come to be known.
Referrals for these and other ways to support the school are also much-appreciated. By introducing
someone to the school, you just very well may be starting a new lifelong partnership of support.
Feel free to contact me anytime with referrals.
Thank you for your prayers and support. I’d appreciate the chance to talk with you more about
these and other ways to help NEW Lutheran High and to advance God’s kingdom through serving
His young people in the greater Green Bay area.
