Let’s talk eNewsletters. What email sending service are you using? How do you decide what information and events go in and what doesn’t? How do you highlight the important stuff amidst a lot of other information? How do you get people to actually read it?

Facilitated by Canon Mike Orr, Canon for Communications & Evangelism for the Episcopal Church in Colorado

Thursday, March 26 | 10:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM MT / 12:00 PM CT / 1:00 PM ET

If your to-do list feels infinite and your energy feels…not, this roundtable is for you.

Church administration and communication doesn’t slow down. So instead of trying to “power through,” we’ll explore practical ways to reduce friction, protect focus, and build rhythms that actually support sustainable ministry.

Drawing from insights from productivity experts, we’ll translate big ideas into everyday church realities. This is a working session. Come prepared to share and brainstorm together. We’ll discuss:

- How to reduce decision fatigue

- How to protect “deep work” time in a people-centered environment

- How to create small systems that prevent big burnout

- What you might need to stop doing

Bring your coffee. Bring one real example from your week. Leave with at least one concrete change you can test before next month.

Special 90-Minute Workshop with Ryan Panzer

Thursday, April 9 | 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM PT / 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM MT / 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM CT / 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM ET

In a culture shaped by attention economies, social media metrics, and frictionless giving tools, stewardship no longer looks like it did a decade ago. As generosity increasingly moves online, churches are discovering both new opportunities—and new challenges.

In this extended 90-minute session, Ryan Panzer invites church leaders, communicators,  and administrators to explore how digital culture is reshaping generosity and what it means to form faithful stewards in this environment. Together we’ll look at the difference between performative generosity and authentic, relational stewardship, consider how Millennials and Gen Z approach giving, and explore practical ways churches can move beyond transaction-based appeals toward transformational generosity.

We’ve intentionally scheduled this conversation during the Easter season—a time when the church reflects on resurrection, renewal, and the abundance of God’s grace. It’s also timed to give church staff and committees space to reflect and prepare ahead of fall stewardship seasons. Caffeinated Church members are encouraged to bring their stewardship chairs, fundraising committees, or anyone involved in generosity and development. The goal is to leave not just inspired, but with concrete ideas your team can put into practice together.

Led by Ryan Panzer, author of The Holy & the Hybrid: Navigating the Church’s Digital Reformation
