A NOTE FROM BISHOP BILL TESCH
Dear Siblings in Christ,
We of the Northwestern Minnesota Synod know who we are and who we are becoming. We are a people so emboldened by the grace of God through Jesus Christ that we have been freed to become communities wholly devoted to loving Jesus and loving our neighbor. This year's GiveMN Give to the Max Day on November 14 is an opportunity to practice that love.
If you think about why we give, there are really only two reasons: we give to love God, and we give to love our neighbor. It's another way of saying that we give out of joy and gratitude, and we give because we want to make life better for the people we are called to care for.
So please give generously to your Northwestern Minnesota Synod through this year's Give to the Max Day campaign. This year, gifts will be equally divided among three endeavors for building more loving communities:
1. Attracting, supporting and keeping well-trained leaders for communities in our territory through grants for relieving the burden of educational debt that weighs on many of our leaders and limits their options for serving wherever God calls.
2. Engaging, equipping and inspiring leaders and communities across our region through increased face-to-face and digital relationship-building.
3. Creating scholarships so that future pastors can be freed to answer God's call.
Options for giving:
Make your donation online:givemn.org/organization/nwmnsynod Give to the Max Day is November 14: Early Giving begins November 1.
Send a check made out to the Northwestern Minnesota Synod, memo: GiveMN-Synod to: Northwestern MN Synod, Concordia College, Moorhead, MN 56562
THANK YOU in advance for your loving generosity.
In our Brother Jesus,
Bishop Bill Tesch
