Are you a Thrivent Member?
Are you a Thrivent member? Thrivent is a financial organization with deep roots in the Lutheran Church. Did you know? If you are a Thrivent member with an annuity or life insurance policy, Thrivent gives you two opportunities each year to provide $250 in action team funding (and t-shirts!) to church or community events?
If you have never put your Thrivent Action Team money to work, we can help. Contact the church office, Thrivent, or your Thrivent representative.
If anyone has a Thrivent Action Team available before the end of the year, we would like one done for the baby shower for Jesus. Thank you.
