Holy Trinity has gone green |
SOLAR PRODUCTION IN FULL SWINGHoly Trinity is producing electrical energy on a daily basis via 72 – 3’x 5’ Photovoltaic panels! In the first year Holy Trinity has produced $2,274.65 of electricity. Good News: Since it takes between 1 to 2 pounds of coal to produce 1 kwh of electricity, Holy Trinity has saved the need to burn from 18,037 to 36,074 pounds (9 to 18 tons) of coal over the over the first year. (FYI: A boxcar of coal weighs 108 tons.) This has also prevented 23,782 lbs or 12 tons of Carbon Dioxide from being pumped into the atmosphere, when the same electrical energy is produced from coal. More Good News : Year 3 of Solar Electrical Energy Production begins on June 1st. | |

ATTENTION ALL THRIVENT, AAL & LUTHERAN BROTHERHOOD MEMBERSIn place of the Thrivent Matching Funds Program, Thrivent, which is the merger of AAL and LUTHERAN BROTHERHOOD has now begun the Thrivent Choice Program to provide support to local congregations. It is now necessary for each Thrivent Policy Owner or Thrivent Investor to direct their Choice Dollars to Holy Trinity. Holy Trinity Lutheran Church is enrolled and able to receive Choice Dollars. One can Designate Choice Dollars as follows:
Step 1 - Visit Thrivent.com/choicedollars to begin or call 1-800-847-4836 and say “Thrivent Choice.” Step 2 – Select Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Marshall, WI as the congregation you want to direct Choice Dollars to in 2010. Step 3 – Also, Choose if you wish this to be an ongoing
contribution. Giving Choice Dollars doesn’t increase one’s premiums nor does it lower the value of the insurance or investment. The Choice Program provides, every Thrivent member, an opportunity to give to one’s local congregation. If you have questions or need help, please contact Pastor Paul at 655-4246.
