Did you know August is National Make-A-Will Month?
This month serves as a reminder to complete important estate planning documents for the future. I’d like to challenge our Parish to take this one step further with Make-A-Will Sunday — a time to focus on the stewardship of the resources God has blessed us with.
Having a will in place not only lessens the difficulty of decisions for your loved ones after your passing — it also provides the opportunity to create a legacy that passes on your faith and values to future generations.
If you don’t have an up-to-date will in place, you can usethis estate planning resource from FreeWill to get started. FreeWill is a trusted online platform that can help you write your legal will in 20 minutes or less at zero personal cost. Click the button below to get started.
While you create your will, you’ll have the opportunity to plan for your assets, dictate important decisions about the future, and even make a bequest to the ministries care about. If you’d like to meet with an attorney to finalize your plans or address complex concerns, you can still use this resource to create a list of documented wishes beforehand.
I hope you’ll set aside time this Sunday, August 14th, to create a plan that stewards your resources in a Christ-honoring way.
