Letter writing campaigns are a low key approach to a stewardship campaign that does everything by mail.  A series of four letters are sent to members along with a commitment card (with their name on it).

Letters include:

• Bible centered themes.

• Inspirational and motivational messages.

Those who return their commitment card by mail each week are omitted from future mailings, and receive a thank you letter immediately after their estimate of giving is received.

Direct mail campaigns include professionally written, inspirational letters that are available as a part of the user fee.  This type of program may be especially helpful if the congregation has just completed a major capital campaign.  A series of follow-up letters are sent about six months after commitments are received.

Be sure to use these!
