During this Advent season, 24 LWF member churches from around the world are sharing hymns from their congregations to show how the Lutheran community prepares for Christmas.

The hymns are available online (Gustavus is Dec. 14).

Risk Management Minute... Is safe driving on your holiday list? It could be the best gift you give–or receive–this year. During the holidays, slow down on the road and give yourself a little more room to stop your car or avoid a crash. Buckle up, and plan ahead for a designated driver if you’re going to a party. Put away the phone, put down the food, the makeup, the book—keep eyes on the road, hands on the wheel and mind on driving. Enjoy these special holidays safely and you can look forward to a joyous new year.

End of year donations... If your office receives any donor checks as we approach the end of the calendar year, please send them to Gustavus Advancement before you leave for holiday break. If your office receives any checks upon your return in January that were dated in 2018, please be sure to bring them to Advancement Services by January 3rd.
If you should get an inquiry from a donor wanting to give a gift to Gustavus before calendar year-end, you can direct them two different ways: 1) Direct them to the giving website to process their credit card gift online by Dec. 31, or 2) Mail a check to Gustavus Advancement, postmarked by Dec 31. Thank you.
