How Important is e-mail
Let’s look at the absolute and undeniable value of your Congregation having a Coordinator with e-mail, and one who monitors their e-mail daily! And then takes the final step of sharing the information with the Congregation.
Look at three (3) e-mails over an (11) eleven day period!


I.  E-mail number 1   from   mike.wendt@thrivent.com   (This was forwarded to all Coordinators with e-mail.)
2006/10/17 Tue PM 05:25:59 EDT              That’s Tuesday October 17


"Quoting" Dear Chapter Leaders:
I am asking your assistance for several items that have very short time frames………
Attached is information about Care In Regions Disaster Response Trips to the Gulf Coast. We have funds that were held back in case we suffered a disaster from hurricanes. Those funds are now available and have to be spent by the end of the year. We are putting together trips, or working with teams already planning a trip, to the Gulf Coast. $5,000 per team is available.


Contact me ASAP with questions and for information about either of the two programs. "End Quote"


II.  E-mail number 2  from  Chapter Volunteer
2006/10/27 Fri AM 09:08:43 EDT               That’s Friday October 27


"Quoting) Good evening
Well! Now we have two (2) volunteer groups going South and each to receive $5,000. ThatsTen Thousand
Dollars ($10,000.00)  .
Both The Lutheran Church of the Nativity, Arden NC,  and St Marks Lutheran Church, Asheville NC, have Katrina trips planned. "End Quote"


III.  And E-mail number 3 from  MargoRabon@aol.com Chapter Financial Advisor Volunteer


2006/10/28 Sat AM 11:20:50 EDT      That’s October 28


"Quoting" The $5,000 for the group from Nativity to buy materials for their trip to Mississippi has been deposited into our chapter account. If the reps. have made plans to present the check at the November 4 service, please let me know who to give the check to. "End Quote"


Both Checks will be presented and the volunteers will go the Gulf Coast before you receive this NewsLetter.
Wow!


And then last year we were involved in helping a Lutheran Family finish building their home and here is an e-mail received October 28


From: Aohandy@aol.com  Pastor and Congregational Coordinator Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, Franklin, NC


"Quoting" Lawson, We just got back from a two (plus) week trip and I remember you wanted to know when the dedication (BLESSING CEREMONY) for the Carl Holt House would be. Because several of our church members are leaving for Florida next week they requested it be done this Sunday, Oct. 29 following our Worship Service and Congregational Dinner at Church. This is a VERY late notice but it all happened of late even though they still have a lot of finishing touches left to do. They had asked me about a year ago to conduct the ceremony since I have been a volunteer helper out there for over three years. Sorry for the late notice. I DO WANT TO THANK YOU AND THE CHAPTER FOR HELPING ME SECURE THRIVENT MONIES TO PUSH (SP)THE PROJECT TOWARD COMPLETION. Without this help and a host of volunteer hours they would not now be living in their new home. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! from me and the Holts. They are SO grateful.. Carl is finally doing much better after his accident at our church and his brush with death (twice) last December.
Love, Pastor Andersen "End Quote"
