The Endowment Committee will be having our first Endowment Sunday for 2017 on Mother’s Day, May 14th. The other Endowment Sundays for 2017 will be: Father’s Day, June 18th, and All Saints Sunday, November 5th.
Please consider giving to the Zion Lutheran Church Endowment Fund on May 14th 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:
· Matheny School
· Edna’s Haven at Trinity Lutheran Church in Dover
· Defibrillator for the church
· Cross Roads Camp
· Heart for Africa
· Good News Home
· Scholarships for The Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia
· Feed My Starving Children
There is $19,554 from the Endowment Fund earnings available for new ministry opportunities in 2017. This figure is determined by taking 3% of a 3-year average of the fund each year. The Church Council is open to suggestions on how we can use the funds to support our ministries.
Please contact any member of the Endowment Committee (Geof Close, Ted Jermansen and Rick Schroeder) if you have any questions.
