| Host a Social Event at Your Church in 2008 | | | The Summit-Portage County Chapter is once again assisting congregations in hosting a social event or several social events through the end of 2008. Each year our congregations can receive up to $50 from the chapter’s annual operating funds to pay for a social activity. We only ask that you mention in your publicity that the event was supported financially by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. Check with your congregation’s Congregational Coordinators to see if you have already received this funding for 2008. |
