The Endowment Committee will be having our first Endowment Sunday for 2013 on Mother’s Day, May 12!
The other Endowment Sundays for 2013 will be:
Father’s Day June 16
All Saints Sunday November 3
Please consider giving to the Zion Lutheran Church Endowment Fund on May 12 as a tribute to all mothers or to commemorate and celebrate a significant milestone in your family’s church life such as a baptism, confirmation, or wedding. Envelopes marked “Endowment Fund” will be placed in all the pews. Earnings from the Endowment Fund have been used in the past to support the following ministries:
· Funding the first year of Pastor Selover’s salary.
· Paying for Pastor Summer’s sabbatical.
· Funding the training of Stephen Ministers.
· Child in Our Hands workshop
· Matheny School ministry
· The first year annual maintenance in launching Zion’s new web site.
· The “seed” money to start up the church vegetable garden championed by Intern Janis Mays-Holder.
· Helping establish the new day shelter for the homeless at Trinity Lutheran Church in Dover, NJ.
· Purchasing a defibrillator for the Church
There is $1,900 from the Endowment Fund earnings available for new ministry opportunities in 2013 after purchasing the defibrillator.
The Endowment Committee would like to thank those who contributed to the Endowment fund in the past year. Please contact any member of the Endowment Committee (Mike Donnelly, Connie King, Geof Close and Rick Schroeder) if you have any questions!
