Work and Serve
Going back to school creates a need for school supplies. The kids of Thrivent took a day to be generous and provide backpacks to students in need.
We all would love it if our children were naturally curious about our jobs and were inspired to follow us in our professional footsteps. But, so often, children grow up without the foggiest idea of what their parents or grandparents actually do for a living.
So, how do we help our kids understand what it is we do, and how we serve others in our profession? We invite them to the office!
Together, we brainstormed nifty office ideas in a “kid sized” business meeting, packed supplies into backpacks for needy elementary and college students, feasted on Chick-fil-A for lunch, interacted with staff and clients, created and colored encouraging cards and an artistic project to take home as a souvenir from the day.
