Designated
Gifts support
specific
ministries of
the ELCA and
Women of the
ELCA. These
ministries are
opportunities
to give above
and beyond
Regular
Offerings and
Thankofferings.
Lifting up
areas of the
greatest need,
they are
selected for a
three-year
cycle in
partnership
with the
entire ELCA. (Three
years of
support are
generally
needed for
these
ministries to
take root.)
As the branch symbol depicts, these are "growth-giving" gifts above and beyond Regular Offerings.
