Dear Fellow Member of (name of church)
I hope you will appreciate the enclosed materials from Lutheran Cooperative Network (LCN), a purchasing co-op that our congregation recently joined. Our intention is to offer a “no additional cost” means of receiving rebate dollars at (name of church) from items purchased by our members through LCN. The enclosed flyer describes current and future products and services that will generate rebate dollars. Our congregation does not endorse any LCN product or service over others available to you in the general market place. We simply want to alert you to rebate opportunities for our congregation from particular items purchased through LCN, if they meet your particular needs. No additional costs or fees are added to what you would normally pay a general retailer.
Your Board of Stewardship recommends Lutheran Cooperative Network to you as another way to support the Lord’s work at (name of church). We think you will enjoy the possibilities it affords for receiving additional income to benefit our congregation and the church at large. A few dollars here…a few dollars there…dollars adding up! These are dollars that previously had no channel into the Lord’s congregation.
Please speak to any of us on the Stewardship Board with questions about LCN.
Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy browsing the possibilities of membership in Lutheran Cooperative Network.
(Signature)
