Together we have met the GREEN RENOVATION CHALLENGE!

Since Feb. 1, generous people have given over $33,000 in donations and sponsored pavers for the new synod building. Now Thrivent Financial for Lutherans will give the full $11,000 challenge grant. This totals $44,000, which saves another $44,000 in mortgage interest, which means $88,000 is available for Christ's mission and ministry. Thank you for your support.

You can still make a difference!
