The effort related in the Stewardship post was successful. About 6 dozen gifts of various sizes were received, totaling a few thousand dollars.
In some ways, this may undermine traditional stewardship education in that we didn't stress a regular commitment. But in another way, I feel that we made a start in educating people that gifts to the church which honor people don't HAVE to go to the memorial fund. They can go toward the "normal" mission of the church.
