Endowment and Memorial Trust
$224,000!!
Astonishing isn't it? $224,000 is the current par value of bonds in the
Valley of Peace Endowment and Memorial Trust. These bonds were made possible
by generous gifts over the years. The income from these bonds provides the
congregation with funds for unbudgeted items. We are one of the few
congregations with this type of financial arrangement, and we are fortunate
to have had founding members with foresight to set up this extraordinary
investment.
It is our job as Endowment and Trust Committee members to educate the
congregation about its scope. And it is the congregation's job to be
informed and to help grow the monies in it. Some ways you can do your part
to ensure its success follow.
In the short term, think of times when God provides us with unexpected
resources, such as receiving a raise in salary, a tax rebate, bonus or
inheritance. Whatever the case, consider giving a portion to the trust.
In the long term, consider the trust in your estate plan. At some periods in
your life, providing for family might be your biggest concern. However, as
children move on to a stable life on their own, think of the trust as part
or your estate plan. Lutheran fraternal benefit organizations suggest
creating your legacy by donating a portion of your estate to your church.
The Valley of Peace Endowment and Memorial Trust is the perfect vehicle for
creating your legacy. Your contribution could be earmarked to fund mission
support, music, a scholarship, the accessibility fund, or any number of
things. Get as creative as you want!! Your legacy will live on through the
Valley of Peace Endowment and Memorial Trust.
As the leaflet on the pew says, "Pass on a legacy of Christian fellowship
that will last for years to come."
