What if you opened your wallet or purse and found that one-thousand-three-hundred dollars were missing ($1,300.00)? Would you be concerned, and start to make a thorough search for the missing funds? I bet you would! This is what happens to your congregation when you don’t take advantage of Thrivent Financial’s Care in Congregations® funding. There are few or no Thrivent Financial members at your church? That can be easily fixed with associate family memberships. The most important number is 3. Each congregation must appoint 3 congregational coordinators. One should be the lead contact for the local chapter and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans in Appleton, WI to communicate with. Over $20,000.00 went unclaimed in 2005. Any congregation or caring individual in a Lutheran congregation can get involved by simply contacting any chapter leader of the Gulf Coast Chapter. That chapter leader can help your congregation find $1,300.00, and help in other ways through Care Abound in Communities®. To learn more about these programs use the internet by going to www.thrivent.com. And visit our website at www.lutheransonline.com/gulfcoastchapter. This is how you find that $1,300.00 that was missing.
