Are you a lay leader involved with finances or insurance matters in your congregation? If yes, this event is FOR YOU!

A growing number of congregations had their insurance policies cancelled. It, therefore, is good to explore different options available to SPS congregations.

On May 24, Fritz Hahn, an insurance broker from the Pacific Northwest who has been working with many congregations in our synod, will explain the church insurance industry and the benefits of working with an insurance broker.

This event is geared towards congregational lay leaders involved in church insurance contracts. The event is free and refreshments will be provided.

The event will take place on May 24 at Gethsemane Lutheran Church. Please RSVP to the address on the flyer.
