The following message was sent to clergy and parish lay leaders.
Friends,
I am pleased to share with you this year’s access info for the Episcopal Network for Stewardship (TENS), and to provide information for an opportunity to help plan and implement your annual stewardship campaign.
Because the Diocese of Southern Ohio is a member of TENS, all congregations in the diocese have access to their resources at no cost.
Please note this year’s log-in information:

Password: Matthew22:4
This year’s annual stewardship program is called Plenty Good Room. A myriad of useful tools, available in both English and Spanish, are available, including:
- sample letters
- sample pledge cards
- a suggested timeline and instruction guide to launch and maintain an annual campaign
- logos and artwork
- liturgical resources, including Prayers of the People
- bulletin inserts
If a previous year’s campaign theme and materials better fit your vision for a stewardship campaign, you are welcome to download and edit those materials.
Parish leadership are welcome to contact me with any stewardship related questions and for guidance about how to develop a stewardship program reflective of your congregation’s context and needs. Please reach out to me directly at dfetz@diosohio.org.
If you wish to do a deeper dive into planning for and implementing an annual stewardship campaign, I will be offering a Zoom call on Thursday, May 28th from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. There will be an opportunity for you to ask questions.
Yours in Christ,
The Rev. Derrick Fetz
Missioner for Congregational Vitality
The Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio
