| THRIVENT BUILDS - OWATONNA UPDATE |
Weather has been a major factor in delaying the start of the Owatonna Thrivent Builds/Habitat house. We did have the groundbreaking ceremony on May 3rd with approximately thirty individuals attending along with two television stations and the local newspaper.
Sixteen local churches have expressed willingness to supply volunteers for building. We have recently received another $1,000 toward our goal of $9,927. This leaves $1,427 remaining to be raised.
Our newest build schedule shows the start of wall construction on June 20 and 21 with targeted completion to be the end of August.

| WHAT IS THRIVENT FINANCIAL FOR LUTHERANS? |
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is a Fortune 500 organization and is the nation's largest fraternal benefit society with nearly 3 million members. The organization and its members provide approximately $200 million annually for outreach programs and activities that support congregations, schools, charitable organizations and needy individuals.
Fraternal benefit societies such as Thrivent Financial for Lutherans are unique not-for-profit organizations that offer their members opportunities to achieve financial security and to help others. Although fraternals have evolved to meet the changing needs of their members, their mission remains the same: to help their members help themselves and others through charitable and benevolent activities; and to provide opportunities for their members to achieve financial security.
Enjoy the beauty and blessings of our summer season!
