Make your plan early as you seek funding for your ministry activity through our chapter. Our chapter’s funding has been reduced for the year. We want you to know that your chapter officers spend every penny frugally, thus accomplishing the most ministry possible through our chapter’s allocation. When you invite someone to be a guest at our chapter’s Membership Meetings, please let us know they are guests. The idea for having guests is to introduce them to our Thrivent Financial for Lutherans programs and what can be done for them, and in their church and community. Please invite new members to become a part of our Thrivent Financial for Lutherans organization! A goal of the year for your chapter officers is to visit your congregation. We would welcome an invitation to talk with your congregational advocates, council members, and/or the congregation membership in promoting Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, including information about the Choice Dollar Program. Is your congregation receiving Choice Dollar funds for which you may be eligible? We can provide this information! Our goal is to help you! We cannot be of assistance if you do not ask! Your chapter officers will be attending a Regional Summit in March to continue being better equipped in the performance of service to you in 2012. Working together, we can encourage, equip, and enable our members, and the congregations of our chapter, to reach out in service to our communities, wisely using our Thrivent resources. Please help us to help you!

You have access to resources and programs created to help you, your congregation and your community. Through our chapter, Thrivent Financial provides funding to support members like you who want to make a difference.
