The Iowa ELCA community is excited to announce a new partnership to better serve people in times of disaster. The three Iowa synods of the ELCA, Lutheran Services in Iowa and ELCA affiliated colleges in Iowa have joined to strengthen Lutheran Disaster Response in Iowa (LDR Iowa).

This webinar event will help our partners to learn how this powerful new partnership will help Iowans before, during and after a disaster. This information will help you, your congregation and your community be better prepared to respond to disaster in partnership with LDR Iowa.

It is estimated that over 120,000,000 Americans do not have an up-to-date estate plan to protect themselves and their families, making estate planning one of the most overlooked areas of personal financial management?  

 

With advance planning, issues such as guardianship of children, managing bill paying and assets in the event of sickness or disability, care of a special needs child, long-term care needs, and distribution of retirement assets can all be handled with sensitivity and care, a reasonable cost.
