Thrivent magazine offers free 2011 wall calendar
Enjoy the photography of our members each month in the Thrivent Financial for Lutherans wall calendar, which in 2011 reflects the theme "Connecting with the Cross." You'll be inspired by the artwork and reflections as you jot down your chapter events, appointments with your Thrivent representative, reminders to bring a dish for the church potluck and all the other important activities in your schedule.
Calendars, a free offer of Thrivent magazine, may be ordered through Sept. 30, 2010, and they will be delivered well before the new year begins. Limit one per member.
