As you come to the last part of 2015 and make plans for Congregational Annual budgets-both year-end gifts and plans for 2016-- I want to invite you to notice what your Mission Support dollars fund in our Synod and throughout the world. 
 
Take a look at these helpful "Where your offering goes" printable flyers.
These resources help us remember, "We are Church Together!"  They help us remember,
"You are there!" Your mission support makes it possible for these ministries to take place.
 
Thank you for supporting God's Mission through your congregation's Mission Support in 2015 and into 2016.
 
Yes, we ARE Church Together!  You ARE there! Thanks be to God!
Rev. Larry Strenge
