There is great news to report from the Endowment Fund. The estate of Ernest Stellke has left a bequest of $100,000 to Zion’s Endowment Fund. Our fund has now grown to approximately $650,000 due to this thoughtful gift from Ernie, who was one of the first supporters of Zion’s Endowment Fund. Ernie had a vision for the fund to grow to $1 million and this puts it closer to the goal.
We would like to thank all the Zion members who attended the Social Security Seminar put on by Geof Close on May 18 and of course a thank you to Geof for a very informative and insightful presentation. Please contact Geoff if you have any questions.
The Endowment Committee will be having our second Endowment Sunday for 2014 on Father’s Day June 15.
The final Endowment Sunday for 2014 will be All Saints Sunday November 2. The Endowment Committee thanks everyone who gave to the Endowment Fund this past Mother’s Day for their generosity.
Please consider giving to the Zion Lutheran Church Endowment Fund on June 15 as a tribute to all fathers 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 available in the pews.
The Endowment Fund only grows with contributions from members and friends of Zion who share the vision of not only a living memorial for loved ones, but also recognize that upon maturity, the fund will provide significant monetary grants for many new mission -oriented programs–forever….
There is $3,074 from the Endowment Fund earnings available for new ministry opportunities in 2014.
Please contact any member of the Endowment Committee (Mike Donnelly, Geof Close, Ted Jermansen and Rick Schroeder) if you have any questions.
