In 2006, Care Abounds in Communities® (CAIC) Service Teams requested funding, spent 6093 hours volunteering, and completed 18 fundraisers and 8 hands on service projects. $58,098 funds raised were supplemented by $15,140. Hands-on project service teams requested funding and completed projects amounting to $8,905. All 17 congregations in Mid King County Chapter requested all funds available for Care in Congregations® (CIC) projects for 2006, completing 31 projects, and volunteering 5,527 hours. For 2007, there are $26,255 available for CAIC projects, and $1,300 to $1,600 for each congregation for CIC projects. Now is the time to identify needs in your congregation and community and apply for funding needed to complete service projects and supplement fund raisers.
Identify a need, form a team comprised of 6 different Thhrivent member households, and complete a CAIC project. You can work with Thrivent members in your own congregation, or team up with members from other churches to help meet needs in your community. Go to http://www.thrivent.com/members/volunteer/forms.html to help you get started. If you need help finding or filling out the appropriate form, contact a chapter board member.
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has a program called Care in Congregations® where funding is provided to Thrivent Financial members to conduct fund-raising and/or hands-on service activities to benefit your congregation or its related Lutheran institutions? In fact, Thrivent Financial members are encouraged to use the funds to help the congregation in its ministry to the community. If you see a need in your congregation that could be helped through this funding, please contact a Thrivent Financial congregational coordinator in your congregation. If you don't know who your three congregational coordinators are, please contact a member of our chapter leadership board as noted in this newsletter, and he/she will help you get in touch with a coordinator.
The Annual Mid King County Chapter Congregational Coordinator Information Update will be held on Saturday, February 24th at King of Kings. We will begin the morning at 10:00 with a fraternal specialist, sharing new procedures and requirements for the Care in Congregations program, and helping any new coordinators understand their role and responsibilities. A brunch social will begin at 11:30 for all participants. All 3 Congregational Coordinators from each church in the Mid King County Chapter are encouraged to attend.

Joining Hands, Touching Lives is the theme of JOIN HANDS DAY, the only national day of service that is specifically designed to bring youth and adults together to improve their communities through volunteering. Consider forming a JOIN HANDS DAY service team. Your activity will qualify as a Thrivent chapter activity eligible for funding from your Thrivent chapter. Your service team needs to include individuals or families from at least six Thrivent Financial member households, and you must involve youth in choosing and planning the activity. Members are encouraged to hold their JOIN HANDS DAY activities on May 5, but for this year, JOIN HANDS DAY activities held between April 1 and June 30 still may be eligible for funding from the chapter. Check out the Join Hands page on the Thrivent site, or call a chapter leader if you have any questions. http://www.thrivent.com/members/volunteer/joinhands.html
