February 2017 Community News

Recent sub-freezing temperatures, along with snow and

ice, have been quite jarring in a community where we

are used to a much more temperate climate. At the

same time, the issue of homelessness is a dominant

story in the news—and this is a problem that extends

from the city to the suburbs and beyond.

If you find yourself or someone you know in need of

weather-related shelter or assistance, or would like to

learn about other agencies where you can offer support,

here are several good resources:

http://211info.org/emergency—locations, hours

and contact info for cold weather shelters by county

in Oregon and Southwest Washington

http://211info.org/donations—lists agencies

accepting donations of blankets, coats and other

supplies

Love INC—TTS. www.loveinc-tts.org or

503.443.6888—provides a clearinghouse linking

programs from local churches and agencies with

families in

need in the

Tualatin,

Tigard and

Sherwood

communities

Thrivent Choice Dollars—Direct 2016 Dollars by March 31

Thank you to all Thrivent members who directed their Choice Dollars to Our Redeemer last year. Your simple action made a significant contribution to our ministry. Since the program started in 2010, Our Redeemer has received over $13,000 in Choice Dollars – money that flows into our General Fund to support the programs approved in our annual budgeting process and to help cover the monthly operating expenses for our ministry.

Key facts regarding this program: The Thrivent Choice program lets eligible members direct where some of Thrivent Financial’s charitable

outreach funds are distributed. Your allocations do not hold forever, so it is useful to check periodically to insure that your available

Choice Dollars go to the charity of your choice. Our Redeemer Church and School is one of the options. 2016 Dollars EXPIRE ON MARCH 31, so go online or call to check your balance. Go to www.Thrivent.com/thriventchoice or call 1-800-THRIVENT and state ‘Thrivent Choice’.
