Prayer-stuffed bears
Carroll, Ohio
Nancy Hinkle’s Thrivent Action Team at Fairfield Community Church sewed and stuffed over 100 “prayer bears” to give to the sick, the elderly, those who have lost loved ones—and anyone else in need of a hug or comfort. Made of leftover fabric, each has a pocket that contains a note and a heart that says “Jesus loves you.”

Sharing the love of Jesus
Ankeny, Iowa
Sherry Kubalsky’s Thrivent Action Team took the love of Jesus to Ghana, Africa, in the form of mosquito nets, dewormer meds and children’s books. They gave Kubalsky’s books “It’s OK to be Me!” and “The Square Wreath” to the children to promote literacy and God’s acceptance. They also attended church, played games and did crafts with the children.

One event, two causes
Columbus, Ohio
At a member event, the Thrivent Communities of the Ritter Financial Group and the Central Ohio Group teamed up to do two separate Thrivent Action Teams and raise funds at Huntington Park.
