Stories of Faith in Action<\/strong>
\n\u201cStories of Faith in Action\u201d is an annual publication highlighting how God changes lives through the ministries funded by your congregation\u2019s unrestricted offering of Mission Support, which is shared with your synod and the ELCA churchwide organization. The publication and the resources that go along with it are designed to share how important your weekly congregational offering is in sustaining and growing God\u2019s mission. Stories, videos, bulletin inserts and an infographic explaining \u201cWhere Does My Offering Go?\u201d are available at ELCA.org\/SOFIA<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Keeping data secure for remote workers<\/strong>
\nWorking remotely or working from home has become one of the biggest workplace trends. Allowing staff to work remotely gives employers more options in hiring the best employees. For the employee, working from home eliminates the stress of commuting and creates more time to focus and be productive. >More<\/a><\/div>\n

Helping out after a disaster<\/strong>
\nWeeks, months and even years after a natural disaster is no longer news, an impacted congregation will still need assistance to recover and come back stronger and better prepared for the future. If you choose to provide assistance to those in need, first consider the best way<\/a> to do so. For information about the work of the ELCA\u2019s Lutheran Disaster Response, visit its website<\/a> or contact the LDR team directly at 773-380-2863.<\/div>\n

Boiler maintenance: A necessary cost-saver<\/strong>
\nWhen boilers are serviced regularly, they\u2019re safer, more efficient and less likely to break down. Regular boiler service will reduce your energy bills and ensure that the boiler and its main components have a longer life. Should your congregation need funds for infrastructure repairs or improvements, contact the ELCA Federal Credit Union for a cost-effective loan solution either by phone at 877-715-1111 or by visiting their website<\/a>. >More<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
