Do you like to make decisions? Would you like to help decide the distribution of Thrivent Care program funds? Would you like to serve your fellow church members by taking an office on the Thrivent Board? The following offices will be up for nomination: Vice President, Events Director, and Community Service Team Director. The remaining offices are up for re-election: President, Records Director, Financial Director, Assistant Financial Director, Congregational Services Team Director, Communications Director, and Youth Director. All elected chapter leadership positions are considered “open positions” each year, even though there may be some members who have not completed their four consecutive terms.
If you can in any way help the victims of recent flooding, please contact Lauren Cravens, Thrivent Builds Chapter Specialist. Lauren has been coordinating many teams including: requesting trucks for use, requesting people to help with loading and unloading of sandbags, evacuation teams, sandbagging. Also, if your area NEEDS help, contact Lauren and she will get the word out for the help. Thank you, Lauren!!
| Thrivent Care Program Funds Are Getting Low |
Because of the above average number of requests coming in, the Care program funds available to the chapter for distribution are getting low. Please get your requests in now. Once the funds are districbuted, further requests may not get funds.
