Welcome to 2005. Please be informed thet we have a new board of directors for the Northeast Seattle Chapter. Members elected in November included: David Munger-President, Bob Enloe-Vice President, Chris Bartels-Records Director, Tony Soder-Financial Director,Terry Vogel-Congregational Service Team Director, and Shawn Bergstrom-Youth Director. At the December chapter meeting, Gary Sievert was appointed to the position of Communicaations Director and Juanita Serrato was appointed to the position of Assistant Financial Director.
Building on the success of the past, this new board is ready to accept the challenges of the coming year. Our job will be to meet needs in our community that are within our parameters by using the Care Abounds in Communities Funds and encourage church congregations to use their Care in Congregations Funds to either benefit their own congregations or use the money to meet a community need.
Care Abounds in Communities Funds can be used to help Lutheran and non Lutheran not for profit groups. These funds are also available for certain types of personal and community disasters
Care in Congregations Funds are available to congregations that have in place three congregational coordinators. These funds can be used for Lutheran World Relief school kits, quilting,food banks,church socials, and church property projects as well as many other community projects.
Project volunteers need to include members from six Thrivent households to access either of these funds. If you would like information on these funds, feel free to contact a congregational coordinator or any of the chapter leaders.
There are some positions available on the Northeast Seattle board. If you are interested in serving your community through the Thrivent Financial Chapter system, please contact us. The work of the chapter is personally rewarding and serves to meet many needs in our community. Keep us in your prayers and help us help others.
Thank You,
David Munger
