Susan Sochowski Family
At our request, Mark has put together a list of concrete and financial ways to help the family as they adjust to a new normal after Susan's stroke. As she continues to recover at home, Susan and the family can use everything from help cleaning the garage to supportive notes and cards to gift cards to help cover expenses.

Each of the six Bible presentations of 2026 was live-streamed for our church Facebook page (linked below) and recorded for Pastor Winterfeldt's YouTube channel (jwinterfel). The FB recordings will be available for only 30 days after each presentation, but the YouTube recordings are available until further notice.
Planning for the Future:
We can face competing priorities when we think about planning our estates someday. To work on your
Christian Estate Plan today, you must decide if you are more controlled by past goals or future desires. What does your family look like today? How does that compare to what it looked like twenty years ago? You might have more children, or the presence of grandchildren. God may have called some family members home. Marriage may have changed circumstances of family. Some family might be facing a health crisis, a financial crisis or mental health challenge that wasn’t present before. Your estate plans may need to change as a result. Your LCMS Foundation Gift Planning Counselor can help you begin taking account of these changes, helping you to begin thinking of modifications needed for your estate plan.
