It is the end of the fiscal year for most institutions of higher learning, including many (if not all) of our Lutheran seminaries. I encourage you to make a fiscal year-end gift to one of our seminaries – your alma mater, the seminary closest to you, a seminary whose programming you particularly support, or the one whose name you pull out of a hat. Our schools can use our support so that they can continue to equip faithful leaders for ministry in Christ’s church.
Please make a gift – $5 or $50 or $250 or more. Any amount helps them in their good and blessed work, and sends a signal that they are not alone in this work. In addition to any one-time gift, please consider a repeating, monthly gift. My wife and I give monthly to our seminary – The Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia – through Thrivent’s Simply Giving program, and we are glad to offer our alma mater our continuing support for their good and wonderful work.
