Leaving a Legacy … Join us Monday, August 11, at 11:30 am in the Community Room to learn about Legacy Planning . Matilda Fee’s tireless work behind the scenes kept Union Church alive in “troublous” times. The Matilda Fee Society is for anyone who already has or is interested in including Union Church in your estate planning (will, insurance, etc). The lunch is free and open to all interesting in learning more and will especially be a thank you to those who have already made plans so the ministry of the church can thrive! There will be a short presentation on best practices and estate planning resources, as well as information on the ever-changing state of giving options. For more info contact Union Church Engagement director, Jessi Montgomery (jmontgomery@cdlex.org). Please let us know in the office if you’ll attend so we can plan for food. Sign up here
