As a congregational coordinator, you may have questions or need additional information related to your role. Please do not hesitate to contact me, your Congregational Service Team Director with any questions you might have. My role on the chapter board is to help you in any way I can, whether that is figuring out how to use the on-line system or helping you determine how to use your congregation's funds. Here is a contact list to help you:
The Care in Congregations® program gives you a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference in your congregation and its associated Lutheran institutions through fund-raising and hands-on service activities, such as painting the church hall or raising funds for new choir robes.
Make sure your congregation uses the Care in Congregations funds available for use in 2007. If this money is not used it will be lost, as it cannot be carried over into the next year. Many congregations in our chapter have not begun to use their alloted funds this year. This money can be used for materials for hands-on projects conducted by service teams like landscaping, painting or repairing your church building or to supplement fund-raising to buy new hymnals, playground equipment, or other needs for the congregation.
Come see the beautiful Habitat house that Thrivent and area Lutherans helped build. There will be a Keypassing and Dedication Ceremony at the 2007 Thrivent-Lutheran Asheville Area Habitat house on Sunday, October 28, 2007, 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. The house is located in the Enka Hills subdivision in West Asheville on Warren Haynes Dr. off Sand Hill Road. There is a map to the subdivision at http://www.ashevillehabitat.org/where_we_build.
Your chapter board would like to thank you for all you do for your congregation and community by volunteering as a congregational coordinator. Without you, your congregation would not be able to receive and multiply funds from Thrivent Likewise, without a full board, our chapter will not qualify for the funding that helps people and our community. Elections are coming up and we have several open positions that must be filled. If you or anyone in your congregation would like to be part of a group of caring people with the opportunity to decide how best to use funding that benefits people in need and your community, please contact me (contact info inside this newsletter), or another board member. You need to be a Thrivent member and have 5 to 15 hours per month volunteer time, depending on the position.
