Gifts, Bequests and Memorials
Many of us have reached points in our lives where we have firmly surpassed the ability to provide for our own basic needs, and we have started thinking seriously about how we can share our blessings with others. After “finding ourselves,” raising our children, and achieving professional success, we begin to ponder what we will leave behind when our time in this world is over. What more can we do now, and what can we do upon passing, that will honor our loved ones and First Church?
