You are invited by ELCA Global Mission Support to make Thanksgiving cards to support ELCA missionaries. Participants (individuals, families, committees, groups, classes) are invited to make at least three cards:
- One card to be brought to the congregation for distribution to service personnel connected to the congregation and community, for example, members of the military and our sponsored ELCA missionaries.
- Another card should be brought to the congregation to “sell” as a fundraiser ELCA Missionary Sponsorship.
- The third card is for personal use. Send someone special an “I’m thankful for you” card.
- If the spirit moves you, make a fourth card to be sent to an ELCA missionary. Thanksgiving time can be a low point for mission service. Global Mission Support will gather these cards and distribute them equally among the missionaries, beginning with our 88 new missionaries.
