Birthday blessings

Annie is inviting her Facebook friends to donate $28 to the ELCA World Hunger Appeal in honor of her 28th birthday. Her goal is to raise $280 by January 17. It's a new twist on an old concept: the birthday offering.

Since this is early in the new year, most of us have yet to experience our 2009 birthday. Let's take Annie's lead and celebrate our birthday by giving a grateful and generous offering.

P.S. Happy birthday, Annie!
