Volume 57, Issue 1

FROM THE PASTOR A New Year is upon us. New years can bring times of new beginnings. What we are assured of is that our God of 2017 will be with us each day. His presence will fill our lives and give our lives purpose.

Our God of 2017 will be ever faithful. We may break promises or drop the ball, but God remains ever faithful. He will never fail us.

Our God of 2017 is a God of love. We will not be alone in our suffering or in our pain.

Our God of 2017 never changes. The world around us changes daily, but God is constant. We can’t turn his love for us off and on. Should the world be de-stroyed by hatred and greed, He will remain.

Our God of 2017 gives to each of us a new begin-ning. Each morning we have a fresh start and opportunity to live in his grace.

Keep looking to HIM in 2017.

Your friend and pastor, Pastor Janet Warnes

The most important financial guide- YOU! Many people want to know the secret to financial success. Whether they should be saving more, protecting more, investing more, spending less… everyone wants a magic bullet to set them on the road to financial success. The hard part is- I can’t give that to them.

At Thrivent Financial, we believe the key is to have discussions with your family and loved ones about what priorities are most important to you. Our members come to us around a shared goal of being wise with money and living generously and we aim to help them live this every day in their lives. Whether it’s saving for a child’s college, supporting a favorite charity, building retirement strategies or a com-bination of all of those and more. Each financial strategy should be driven by one person: You.

With our members in the driver’s seat we offer guidance based on sound and timeless principles.

Spend less than you earn. This is critical. No one can live beyond their means forever and all bills- credit card, mort-gage, home equity loans and others- eventually come due. Being wise with money means having the ability to be pru-dent with the resources you already earn.

Be wise with debt. Debt isn’t something to be avoided at all costs. Some debt can be very healthy and a way to broad-en and strengthen your future- both inside and outside your financial picture. Mortgages, student loans and car loans can all be entered into and can be a part of a healthy financial strategy- they just need to be managed carefully and effectively.

Protect against setbacks. Even the best of financial strate-gies can be derailed by a sudden accident or death if not properly protected. Life insurance, disability insurance, and long-term care insurance can all work as protection against the worst, should it happen, and help ensure that you and your family are taken care of and you’re not leaving others with bills or burdens that can be protected against.

Have a short term- and long term- plan. College, retire-ment, emergency savings, a new car… all of these are great goals for families and individuals to set for them-selves. The key to reaching these goals is to do so in a way that maximizes current resources and helps minimize risk for an overall strategy. So when it comes to transition-ing to drawing down money in retirement, the most im-portant structure is to plan for the short term, for the near-term, and ensure that it’s working in conjunction with your long-term strategy for you and your family.

Give back. Nothing lasts forever. At Thrivent Financial we work with our members to ensure that generosity is in-stilled throughout a life-long financial strategy, not just when someone accumulates “enough” to give. We want to support our members’ efforts to impact their families and communities through programs and opportunities to live generously.

Many people are looking for a silver bullet when it comes to financ-es. The most important part is to be true to yourself, your family and your goals. These five pillars can be a guide. However, it’s ultimate-ly up to you and what you want for your future.

This article was prepared by Thrivent Financial for use by the office of

East Grand Forks representative Chad Erickson (218-773-1181). Thrivent Financial is a financial services organization that helps Christians be wise with money and live generously. For more than a century it has helped mem-bers make wise money choices. For more information, visit Thrivent.com. You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter.

MISSION ACTION

Happy New Year, everyone! We did very well again this Fall in the lower level of OSL. The ladies are phenomenal! We sent several large and toddler & youth quilts to Marshall County Social Services. We also sent adult & children’s quilts to Care & Share in Crookston, and we had a large amount of donated warm weather clothing & personal care items which were given to the Northlands Rescue Mission. Peder & Karen Larson again donated the large tubs used for the collection. Thank you to Karen & Jim Pearson and Gladwin Lynne for help with loading and transporting the items. We are so very grateful for your generosity to the Mission. I hope you feel joy in knowing that you have brightened another person’s Christmas!

We also want to give a shout-out to our ladies who knit & crochet prayer shawls. This is a small group but a significant part of the visitation ministry of the parish, and much appreciated by the recipients of the prayer shawls. We thank you! If anyone would like the instructions to make a prayer shawl, please contact the church office.

Once again, we are grateful and appreciative of a very productive Fall with our group. You are truly a blessing and inspiration to all. We will begin quilting again on Tuesday, January 10 at 1 pm at OSL. Come join us for fun and fellowship! Mission Action
