We all know it is important to have a Will, but more than half of us do not. If you have been thinking of writing a Will or have not reviewed your Will in a number of years, then take the time and do so. Planning your Will is very important. You can tell your family and your loved ones exactly what you want done with your Estate. Your first concern is to provide for those closest to you. Then, please keep in mind those who need your help. Our Church’s work relies on your support. One of the ways that you can help us accomplish this work in Christ is through bequest or gift to:
