Thrivent Financial
Are you a Thrivent member? And if you are, do you know that as a Thrivent member (depending on what investments or products you have with Thrivent) you might have Thrivent Choice dollars that you can designate to a non-profit ministry of your choice including Calvary Lutheran and hundreds of other ministries every year?  And that you also have at least $250 dollars (and possibly $500) per year that you can choose to kickstart a Thrivent Action Project that can make a difference in our church or community. For example, this fall a member of Calvary used their $250 to purchase the backpacks and some of the supplies that were used to fill the School Backpacks for Lutheran World Relief.  To direct your Thrivent Choice dollars, start a Thrivent Action Project or simply to learn more go to: https://www.thrivent.com/what-we-offer/generosity/, talk to Pastors Chris or Sheryl or talk to your Thrivent agent.

​ Lutheran Disaster Response
Wildfires in the West. Hurricanes in the South. Tornadoes in the Midwest. Covid-19. Throughout our nation and around the world, disaster strikes with alarming frequency and sometimes it can feel as if we are helpless in the face of it all.  But whenever and wherever disaster strikes, you are there through the work of Lutheran Disaster Response (LDR), not only in the immediate aftermath but also long after the disaster has faded from the headlines. Your donations to the work of LDR are critical in allowing LDR to make a difference when disaster strikes. If you have not already done so, please consider making a donation to        Lutheran Disaster Response either by going to: https://www.elca.org/Our-Work/Relief-and-Development/Lutheran-Disaster-Response or by making a donation to Calvary specifically earmarked for Lutheran Disaster Response or if you wish you can even be more specific by writing ‘wildfires’, ‘hurricanes’, etc. in your memo line. And remember, 100% of what you donate will go for disaster response!
