So I was making my way through a stack of papers today and ran across a “Pony Express” Stewardship kit for sale. Disclaimer: I know very little about the scope and content of the Pony Express Stewardship program, simply that it was a “stewardship emphasis” program used in Lutheran churches in the last 20 years or so.
But it does make you wonder. Is “Pony Express” the best name for a congregational stewardship program? Do we really want to make our Christian giving like the post office’s means of mail delivery almost 150 years ago?
