Care in Congregations®

Planning a Care in Congregations® activity

The Care in Congregations® program gives you a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference in your congregation and its associated Lutheran institutions through fund-raising and hands-on service activities, such as painting the church hall or raising funds for new choir robes. Care in Congregations® is a simple four-step process: 1. Plan - identify a need, form a congregational service team and discuss with congregational coordinators and congregation. 2. Request - request funds and approval online at www.thrivent.com 3. Conduct - plan and conduct the activity involving as many people as possible. 4. Report - report volunteer hours, member attendance, total attendance, net funds raised, total expenses incurred and total households actively involved. Funds are sent to the congregation and the Receipts, Funds Raised and Expenses Report is submitted to the chapter leadership board.
