Announcing the LOL Mission Endowment Fund Our Church Council has approved the creation of the 'Lord of Life Mission Endowment Fund' team. An endowment fund is a way to ensure that your gift provides revenue for your desired charitable purpose forever.
The concept is as ingenious as it is simple. A gift to an endowme nt
fund is never spent. Instead, it is invested; each year a portion of
the earnings is made available to be spent for special ministry purposes
through grants. The remaining portion of the earnings is returned to
the fund to increase the fund's value and provide for future spending.
Over time, the amount of money available for special ministry grants will far exceed the value of the donor's original gift. And because the gifts into the fund are never spent, the fund will provide support for our special ministries forever.
More information on this fund will be available this year, and we are forming a team to work specifics. If you have gifts of finance or communication, a heart for stewardship and a few hours to be part of this team, please respond to lordlife.news@gmail.com or the church office.
