Bread for the World logo without words Seasonings of the Synod: Fight hunger with your signature
Did you know that all of the charitable efforts combined (through corporations, religious congregations, campuses, & charities) make up just five percent of the food/nutrition needed to help struggling people/families in our nation? It is very important that these efforts are made to fill the gap.

The rest of the help comes through federal programs, which are now facing the potential of unprecedented cuts. Bread for the World needs your signature by tomorrow to help protect these programs. Learn more and please share with your congregation.

 

Rethinking Stewardship: Connecting faith and finances
Jul. 24-26, Luther Seminary, St. Paul. Why do American Christians have such a difficult time connecting their faith and their financial lives? How do congregations invite people to consider how their relationship with money both reflects and affects their relationship with Jesus?
