Chaplain Herold Scheer

Another Opportunity to fund the IDE Chaplaincy Endowment Fund

I recently learned of a blessing Thrivent Financial for Lutherans wants to give the Iowa District East Chaplaincy Endowment Fund. They will give $2,400.00 if we can raise $7,200.00. Sounds like a good blessing to me and hopefully to most of you. As of this writing over $1,500.00 has been given. The Endowment fund total is now over $250,000.00 and when it’s over $500,000 it may support our half time Deaconess/Chaplain. When it reaches over $1,000,000.00 it will support a full time Chaplain at University Hospitals. Some people are including this Fund in their estate planning. Please remember that all gifts are tax deductible.

All gifts need to be received by December 15, 2006

You, your congregation or any group may send your gifts to:
Mr. Walt Prem, Financial Director
Johnson Co. Chapter Thrivent for Lutherans
227 Windsor Drive
Iowa City IA 52245

Please make the checks out to Thrivent for Lutherans and include IDE Chaplaincy Endowment Fund on the memo line of the check.

In Christ Jesus,

Chaplain Harold Scheer
