We finish the 2021 calendar year full of gratitude for all we have accomplished together as a synod.

We also celebrate all who have pledged large and small gifts to our Growing Generosity Appeal. In under a year, we are unexpectedly surprised to find we are already at 97% ($485,082) of our three-year goal of receiving $500,000 in pledges.

Since our last update in mid-November, we’ve received over $80,000 in pledges and gifts.

With gratitude for your generosity, we prepare to launch our stretch goal of $750,000.

Any gifts over our $500,000 milestone will be divided equally among our three key initiatives:

1. Growing Financial Viability:
   Planting seeds of financial support for pastors and congregations.

2. Growing Future Ministries:
   Planting seeds for Lutheran Campus Ministry and new & emerging ministries.

3. Growing Fervent Voices:
   Planting seeds for Lutheran Advocacy Ministry Arizona and Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada.

Please prayerfully consider how you’d like to be involved, and learn more about Growing Generosity here.
