Ernest Burnett, on behalf of the leadership of the South Central Alabama Chapter of Thrivent for Lutherans, a fraternal Lutheran financial services organization, opened Christmas festivities at Perdido Bay's Camp Dixie on December 1, 2007 with a spirit of thankfulness.
Members of the Thrivent Chapter had brought dinner dish items to augment the roast beef and shrimp dinner at the Thrivent Annual Christmas Party. Music by "Top Hat" and a Chapter fundraising auction complemented the activities. The Chapter is a vehicle for focusing fraternal support funds on local needs identified by Lutherans in South Baldwin, the most visible in recent weeks being the 15 K Run in Fairhope/Point Clear to support a "Lutheran" Habitat for Humanity Build program to begin in February '08.
Information concerning the South Central Alabama Chapter of Thrivent for Lutherans can be obtained from any one of the twelve Baldwin County Lutheran Churches or from Ernest Burnett at (251) 990-4502.
