Pastor Hahn's Thoughts...
|

What did they do? Ken and Jan became Associate Members with Thrivent, a not-for-profit financial services company with deep Lutheran roots and a strong history of charitable activities. Through their Associate Memberships, Ken and Jan each have access to one $250 grant per year to be used for a charitable purpose at Calvary or in the community. (The membership fee is only $19.95, which makes their return on investment twelve-fold!)
If I remember correctly, one of them plans to use the grant to fill the "blessing box" at Winecoff Elementary for one month with groceries. The other wants to provide seeds and seedlings for a section of Calvary's vegetable garden. With only eleven more individuals signing up as Associate Members, the blessing box at Winecoff can stay filled year-round.
Just imagine how much good we could do to support CCM and our neighbors in crisis, if 20 or 30 or 50 individuals at Calvary signed up to become Associate Members with Thrivent and if Full Members actually use the two grants per year to which they are entitled.
The paperwork/computer work takes only a few minutes. I am ready to help you Sundays after worship and Wednesdays and Thursdays when I am in the office. I'll help you over the phone. Just reach out. This is so easy and so effective! The impact is great!
God's Peace,
