Do You Know Where Your Money Went Last Night? When you invest your money in the stock market or at your bank, do the companies represent your values? If you invest in either of these ways you really don't have much control over how your money is used. BUT when you invest in the Texas District Church Extension Fund ... we promise to send your money to CHURCH every night!

Where are your CEF Investments being used? Seven Texas District congregations are building right now because Texas District Lutherans chose to invest part of their savings in CEF.  The pictures below are what you would have seen if you visited the seven construction sites during the past 30 days.  Go to www.TexasCEF.org to download an investment form and make a new investment today.  Be sure that your money goes to church tonight.
