Commission Report

by Christie Grandbois

Using our great varieties of gifts, we contribute our time, talent and treasure to Manifest Christ's Love to the World.  See how you can participate by giving to our annual fund drive and our endowment funds.

Stewardship is a way of life here at Epiphany.  Our community is exciting and diverse.  We all have a variety of gifts of time, talent and treasure that come together to form  a basket of abundance.  With joy and thanksgiving we share our gifts with our church, our  community and our world. Our annual fund drive takes place in October and November of each year.  One time gifts and annual pledges are accepted at any time. Our endowment fund began in 2005.  You can contribute.  We are growing  as God’s Episcopal outpost in the Northwest metro area of the Twin Cities!

The Endowment Committee is in the process of setting up the timeline for an educational series on Church of the Epiphany’s Endowment Fund. This is why over the past few Witness publications we have begun highlighting different ways one can give to the endowment fund. Our plan is to discuss these opportunities in more detail during the educational series. More to come in the next few months!

Endowment Giving – Benefiting Others through Your Will

In addition to being a convenient way to distribute an estate, a will can also be a creative vehicle for making thoughtful gifts. After providing for the needs of loved ones, you may choose one of several ways to benefit a charitable organization. By having your attorney revise your will or add a simple amendment, you can underscore your commitment with a gift of a dollar amount, a specific property, a percentage of your estate, or what is left after remembering your loved ones. You may also wish to name a charitable beneficiary in the event that heirs do not survive you.
