CHANGE IN EVENT SCHEDULE
MONTHLY GRIEF MEETINGS WITH PASTOR GRANT
Will be held the 4th Thursday of each month (changed from the 2nd Tuesday)

Grief and Grieving.
Grief and grieving are the natural response to a major loss, such as the death of a loved one. Loss can cause feelings of grief, sometimes when you least expect it. You may find that old feelings of grief from past loss can be triggered by current experiences or anniversaries of that loss.

 Hurricanes Harvey and Irma have left a trail of destruction across the southern United States. Harvey uprooted the lives and livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in Texas and western Louisiana. Just two weeks later, Hurricane Irma caused chaos and devastation in Florida as well as in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It's anticipated Irma will impact multiple other states, including Georgia and the Carolina's, too.
When tragedies like these strikes, Thrivent Financial members want to know how they can help. Thrivent supports your generosity in the following ways:
$3 million match on personal donations*
Thrivent will match up to $3 million in personal donations made online through Thrivent.com to specific disaster relief organizations responding to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. The dollar-for-dollar match will lead to a total combined impact of up to $6 million. Thrivent will pay the processing fees associated with the personal donations**. For more details and to see the list of organizations included in the match, visit the Disaster Response page on Thrivent.com.
Lead a Thrivent Action Team
Get your friends, family and coworkers to band together to help raise funds for those affected by the hurricanes by forming a Thrivent Action Team. Use promo code "2017 Hurricanes," and you'll receive your Thrivent Action Kit containing T-shirts, seed money and promotional materials 5 to 7 business days after approval. Get started.
Direct Choice Dollars®
Thrivent Choice® lets eligible members recommend where Thrivent distributes some of its charitable outreach funding. If you have Choice Dollars available to direct, please consider selecting enrolled organizations helping those impacted by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Learn more.
You have the opportunity to help those in need!
If you have any questions, please contact the Member Connection Center at 800-847-4836 and say "Thrivent Choice" at the prompt or email [email protected].
