Merci, Grazzie, Danke, are the words "Thank You" in French, Italian, and German. Whatever tongue may say these words it isn't as impactful as seeing how our LCEF investments have enhanced our South Wisconsin District churches, schools, or other ministries. The Lutheran Church Extension Fund truly wants to thank you for your part in building ministry in our District.
LCEF's new ConnectPLUS investment is really resonating with new investors. Recently all of the South Wisconsin District pastors were sent a letter and brochures on ConnectPLUS. Please help LCEF promote ConnectPLUS to family and friends so the continuing needs of the LCMS can be funded. If you would like to get more brochures or information for your congregation please contact me, 414-464-8100, ext. 25 or diana.raasch@lcef.org.
I wish for you and and your family a most Blessed Thanksgiving.
Yours in Christ,
Diana S. Raasch, M.B.A, CGP

Last year, many individuals and congregations in the South Wisconsin District
provided funds for Thanksgiving meals to families living in the central city of Milwaukee. The meal consists of a turkey and all the fixings for a traditional Thanksgiving meal. The goal every year is to fulfill the requests for Thanksgiving baskets we receive from central city Lutheran pantries in Milwaukee. Last year 1056 baskets were delivered to the pantries, and we have the same goal of 1056 this year. Again this year we will partner with Brookfield Lutheran who has purchased, assembled and delivered Thanksgiving baskets in the central city for many years. Please let me know if you or your congregation would like to help or consider being a host site in the future.
This is where we need your help. You can help by praying for the mission, the individuals who are preparing, assembling and delivering, and for those who receive them. We also ask for financial help. Your generosity not only provides nourishment, it also shows the love you have for your neighbor.
Come and help me share our joy and love to others this Thanksgiving! 
Rev. Peter Kelm - SWD Mission Executive
For additional questions or needed information, please contact Rev. Peter Kelm, SWD Mission Executive at (414)464-8100 or kelm@swd.lcms.org or Barb Slak at (414) 464-8100 or slak@swd.lcms.org. Donations appreciated by Thanksgiving.
