During this season of Thanksgiving, we remember the generosity of people like you. Especially this year, as we celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Church of the Lutheran Brethren on December 17th. In 1900, five congregations gathered in Milwaukee, WI, and formed the CLB. So, thank you for your giving this year. It makes a huge difference as we anticipate what God will do in the next 125 years!

We get to share with you a greeting from Matthias & Ellie Szobody, missionaries in Chad. They are currently living in the United States as they wait for the resolution of visa bans between the U.S. and Chad. We pray that they will be able to return to Chad soon. In the meantime, God is using their gifts for his glory.

During these summer months, as ministries often take a break from the routine of the rest of the year, we want to take a moment to thank you for being a member of the Cornerstone Network. Giving from our Cornerstone Network makes up a significant portion of our fiscal year contributions. So, thank you again for your giving this year. It is making a huge difference!

We’re excited to share this update from Church Planter, Pastor Carl Juhl. Lincoln Church & Community Center recently purchased a new building and they are already using it for ministry and Sunday morning worship! Your giving helps make these exciting steps happen within the ministry that God is doing through the Church of the Lutheran Brethren.

As we enter the final month of the fiscal year for the Church of the Lutheran Brethren, we want to extend our appreciation to you as a member of the Cornerstone Network. Did you know that 43% of annual giving to the contribution goal is given by members like you? Anyone who gives $1,000 or more to the contribution goal is part of this generous network of donors. Thank you, again, for your giving this year. It is making a difference.

Watch this short greeting from Ryan Karey, a distance education student at Lutheran Brethren Seminary. He, along with his pastor Scott Skones, are benefiting from the generosity of those who give to the Church of the Lutheran Brethren.

Please enjoy this heartfelt “Thank you!” from missionary David Narvesen. He shares an incredible story of how God is working in Chad through our missionaries and the local Chadian and Cameroonian Churches. Your generosity is supporting the work of our missionaries!
