Be Part of Thrivent’s 2027 Calendar
Submit your entry by June 30, 2026
Join us in bringing our 2027 calendar theme, “God’s Handiwork,” to life. Inspired by the Greek word poiēma, found in Ephesians 2:10 and Romans 1:20 and meaning “that which has been made,” this theme reflects the truth that creation, and even our own lives, are crafted with beauty, intention and artistry. God’s handiwork surrounds us every day: in the glow of morning light, the strength of the mountains, the rhythm of the sea, the delicate details of a flower and the quiet moments of kindness and peace that shape our world.
We invite you to submit original photos or artwork that capture these glimpses of God’s creativity, images that inspire awe, gratitude, joy or peace. Your work can help tell the story of a world lovingly shaped by God’s hand.
Don’t wait. Pre-order now! Thrivent clients with membership can request one calendar at no cost. Calendars will be mailed after printing in early October. If you received a 2026 Thrivent Calendar or place an order today, you will be automatically subscribed to future calendar releases. To opt out of future mailings, please see the disclosure below.
No products will be sold. Membership benefits, programs and activities are not guaranteed contractual benefits. You should never purchase or retain any insurance or annuity products simply to be able to participate. Participation is subject to applicable Terms and Conditions.
