KATIE'S FUND
Celebrate the bold life of Katharina (Katie) von Bora Luther and help to raise up bold women of faith for generations to come. All gifts to Katie’s Fund support ministry in three areas: leadership development, global connections, and living theology. Katie's Fund was established as an endowment in 1997. Since then Katie's Fund has raised over $1,000,000. The interest income is used each year, helping to grow and generate more support for ministry, year after year.
Here are some projects supported by Katie's Fund in recent years:

KATIE'S TABLE
Each year at our convention in September we sell items at Katie's Table to raise money for Katie's Fund. In 2019 we sold secondhand purses as well as some other items which raised $1036, and $828 from Silent Auction items, for a grand total of $1864! These proceeds were sent to the churchwide organization for Katie's Fund.
We will be selling donated jewelry and scarves at the 2022 Convention in Marietta, Georgia so start collecting all those unused items and bring them with you to the convention. We will also have a Silent Auction of gift baskets, homemade crafts, and more! Beth Drane and her crew will provide an awesome shopping experience for all of us with the proceeds going to Katie's Fund.
