Memorials & Special Gifts

Thank you for considering the ministries of First Ev. Lutheran Church as the recipient of your special gifts and memorials. Because of these gifts, we are able to supplement many programs, groups, and extra (non-budgeted) expenditures.

MEMORIALS AND SPECIAL GIFTS

1. This list of suggested memorials is made available as a guide to assist people in deciding how to designate funds given as memorials and special gifts.

2. Any item not on the approved list below must receive prior approval from the Church Council, acting on behalf of the Voters’ Assembly.

3. Memorials not designated will be retained until the end of each year in a “Memorial Fund”, to be dispersed at that time by the Church Council.

4. Memorials and Special Gifts are not identified with name plates or other descriptive plaques. The congregation understands that donations are given to the Glory of God.

5. Any items or property given to the church will remain the property of the church and disposed of as directed by the Church Council.
