Charitable Giving Lunch & Learn
Sunday, June 22 at Noon
Planned giving is a donation to charity that requires a more strategic approach than simply writing a check. Unlike standard donations, planned giving can allow you to reduce taxes and make significant gifts to the charities of your choosing. This Lunch & Learn will give you information about how to create a legacy that remembers the kingdom of God.
Guest Speaker: Nathan Bopp, Financial Advisor
This is a free event! We just ask that you register so we can plan accordingly for lunch.
