The Faithful Servant Trust Fund board invites you to attend an Estate Planning Workshop after church on Sunday Feb 5th in the Sanctuary. Joseph Moore, one our guest preachers from last summer, will be back to present the workshop. He’ll discuss the importance of having plans in place for peace of mind, and will cover the documents we should all have in place - a Will, Power of Attorney, Health Care Proxy, Medical Power of Attorney. He’ll also explain how members who are interested in leaving legacy funds to CENTRAL (and/or other non-profits) can do so.
Please sign up in Fellowship Hall or use the button below or the mobile app, so that we can be sure we have enough handouts for all.
