Re-gifting
Did you receive a gift for Christmas that you did not need? Did you re-gift it to someone else? Re-gifting, once frowned upon, has become an acceptable practice in recent years.
Re-gifting has always been acceptable to God. When blessed by God with more gifts than we need, He asks us to share those gifts with others and especially those in need.
After a lifetime of accumulating assets, we may have more assets than our loved ones need. If you have been blessed in this way, you have an opportunity to joyfully re-gift some of those assets to the continued work of your Lord and Savior here on earth. We call this type of re-gifting, "planned giving". With the help of our ELCA Regional Gift Planner, Greg Shepherd, you will be shown ways that you can re-gift to the church and other charities without reducing your gifts to your loved ones. You will also learn ways to reduce taxable estate assets, and at the same time, be able to provide for ministries for which you have a passion. Create your legacy!
To learn more, you may contact Greg at: (909)910-6823 or gregory.shepherd@elca.org
