Generous Resolutions for the New Year 2020

“You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. ‘For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.’ And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.” 2 Corinthians 9:7-8

A mindset of generosity is formed by one generous decision after another.

This year, consider finding a new charity to support, upping your annual gifts, or thinking of a new way you can support your church. Leaving a legacy of generosity begins with a daily choice to be generous with your time, talents, gifts, service, and witness.

Generous New Year’s Resolutions for 2020:

  • Create a bequest in your will to benefit your church or a charity
  • Give a portion of your IRA to your church or favorite ministry to reach your yearly required minimum distribution (RMD)
  • Create an endowment fund that will continually support your church or a ministry
  • Invest in the Foundation’s Development Fund to earn interest and help churches and other United Methodist ministries receive loans

If you are interested in setting up one of these generous gifts, or would like resources on more ways to give, call us at 334-793-6820 or email us at [email protected].
