Pre-Retirement Workshop Webinar - This Thursday

When is the right time to plan for retirement? Today! Concordia Plans Financial Educators can help create a plan, put your plan into action, and help guide you through the retirement process. They can help you make sure you’ll be prepared to meet your day-to-day living expenses in retirement as well as set aside money to create memories.

Thoughts on the ADA and Churches

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in July, 1990. The ADA changed the law but not the hearts of Americans. Can your church embrace the heart of the ADA? Please view the following video by Joni Eareckson Tada, from Joni and Friends, who served on the president's committee that drafted the ADA.

Requesting Help For Flood Victims in the Iowa District

From Rev. Dr. Steven D. Turner, President, Iowa District West: It is with a heavy heart that I find myself reaching out to you so soon with another appeal. As you may be aware, calamity has struck again with the floods in western Iowa. Trinity Lutheran in Hawarden and Christ the King in Spencer have suffered major damage to their church buildings and the pastors’ and other church members’ homes suffered major damage. A major difficulty with this disaster is that most homeowner and church insurance does not cover damage caused by flood waters.

 

In times like these, our faith community has an opportunity to come together and make a difference. We are reaching out to you to request your support for our disaster relief efforts. Your generous donation will directly impact the lives of those affected by this natural disaster.


How You Can Help:

1. Keep our communities in your prayers. Encourage your congregation to pray for healing, strength, and resilience during this challenging time.

2. Through financial support. You may wish to consider a door offering. Your contribution will go towards emergency supplies, shelter, and long-term recovery efforts.

 

Ways to Donate:

By mail: Send your check payable to Iowa District West with “Disaster Relief” on the memo line.

Online: Go to IowaDistrictWest.org and click on “Donate” to make a secure online donation. Select the “Disaster Relief” option
