Vital Signs/Vital Choices
MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY
     in Your Grandchildren's Future

Your heart rate is an indicator of your physical health.  Similarly, a "checkup" of your investment plan is an indicator or your financial health.  When was the last time you checked the "heartbeat" of your financial plan?

You may know CEF as the organization that provides low-cost building loans to LCMS churches and schools in Texas.  Did you also know that CEF provides investment opportunities for individuals and organizations of the Texas District LCMS?

Plus, here is one vital, added benefit - while your investments are earning interest for you, they are also providing the funds needed to create a place where ministry can impact lives.  As a TexasCEF investor, you can feel good about an investment that benefits you and your family, while supporting a ministry that connects families just like yours with the good news of the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
