CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP IN 2008

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

[Matthew 6: 21]

While low interest rates are great news for those looking to refinance their mortgage, they are a challenge to those persons who depend on interest income to meet living expenses. As rates on certificates of deposit and bonds fall, so does the monthly income of many people, particularly retired persons.

One solution to this problem may be a charitable annuity. A charitable annuity may offer you a higher stream of income, a current income tax deduction, and the opportunity to help your favorite church, TPC. With interest rates so low, now is a good time to consider a charitable annuity.

What is a charitable annuity? A charitable annuity is an irrevocable contract in which a charitable organization (for example, the Presbyterian Church Foundation) agrees to pay you, and/or a loved one, a fixed life income. At the death of the final beneficiary, any remaining proceeds revert to TPC.

The per capita for 2008 is $30.00 for every Church member to cover the expenses for the General Assembly, Synod and the Presbytery. These funds allow the denomination & Presbytery to help the poor, to assist new churches, & to do many other very worthy deeds. Please consider contributing to the Per Capita for 2008.
