Tanganyika Family Day 2008 |

On September 6th, 2008, approximately 240 Wichita area Lutherans gathered at the newly opened Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard, Kansas. Kids, Parents and Thrivent personnel greeted one another, learned a bit about using money, had a terrific lunch and visited the animals of the park. |

 | Thrivent Financial Awards Grant to Local HS Group |  |
Matt Ticknor, Local Thrivent Financial Associate awarded the SW Missouri Lutheran High School Project Committee a $1500 Grant, to match the $1500 they recently raised in December, to supplement their ongoing efforts to build a Lutheran High School in the area. The Picture shows Kurt Krueger SWMLHS Committee Chairman accepting the $1500 matching Grant from Matt Ticknor of Thrivent Financial. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Earlier in 2008, a couple of local groups started to discuss the formation of a Lutheran High School in Southwest Missouri.They are in the initial phase of a feasibility study named the Genesis Project. Through a multi-step process, the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) consultants have assisted our congregations in determining whether a Lutheran school could be successful in our geographic area. Anyone interested in this endeavor please contact us at swmolhs@swmolhs.org. The committee has also formed a website at www.swmolhs.org to allow those unable to attend a way to communicate with us. We encourage all those interested in this project to register on the above website. Once you have registered we will keep you up to date as to the current happenings with the project and will allow you to communicate your opinions through forums, polls and upcoming surveys. For more information contact Kurt Krueger at the CPA Group in Monett ...343-7517 |
