Thrivent Financial, as part of their “Summer of Impact” campaign, is giving each member who logs in to their online account $50 to designate to their favorite charity! This is in addition to any other Choice Dollars you may have accumulated. You can designate this to go to any charity: Grace, LWML, LOMT/Camp Lone Star, or a host of other choices! The deadline is August 31, or whenever they run out of the 8 million Choice Dollars they have designated for this effort.

All you have to do is log in to your Thrivent online account and designate the Choice Dollars however you wish. You can divide it between multiple charities if you wish. If you designate the monies to Grace and want them to be used for something special, please let us know.

Put these dollars to work! If you have any questions, contact the church office and we will be glad to assist you.
