A Service of Consecration for a Financial Endowment

By Ken Sloane

Stock Church building Fall trees 72px

I received an email from a friend who leads one of our United Methodist Foundations, asking me if we had a service for consecrating an endowment their church had established. My response was that I didn’t have anything, but it sounded like a great idea, and I would get right to work on one. I found the existing liturgy for consecrating a building (found in the United Methodist Book of Worship) and adapted it for use for consecrating an endowment or a bequest that will be used in this way. A PDF of the liturgy is available for download here:
