Meaningful Christmas Gifts

Are you looking for a valuable, meaningful gift for the children, teens, and adults on your Christmas list? Have you ever considered a small investment in the ELCA Mission Investment Fund? Investments for children under 16, MissionFuture4Kidz, require only a $50 initial investment. Our investments for older teens and adults (MissionPlus or MissionTermSelect) require only a $100 investment.
Your loved one will own the investment and earn interest on it, even while the investment is helping ELCA congregations build, renovate or expand their facilities.
And guess what? Even parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles might enjoy a meaningful investment like that! For more information on gifts that support mission and the ones we love, visit the the ELCA Mission Investment Fund or contact Pastor Carol E. Spencer

Or even easier….contribute to our December Mission Offering which benefits the ELCA World Hunger Appeal
and pick up “gift of hope” cards in the narthex to give to your loved ones for Christmas.
