Legacy giving for Family, Ministry Seminar: April 28

Everything we have is a gift God gives us during our lifetimes. We each have the privilege, responsibility, and joy of being stewards, caring for loved ones and God's creation and creating gifts for Christian ministry. 

As you plan your legacy that reflects your faith and values, the Lutheran Foundation of the Southwest is here to assist you. We can help you care for your family and benefit Lutheran ministries, your favorite community, and other non-profit organizations.

Lutheran Foundation of the Southwest provides comprehensive gift planning and management personalized to your goals, unique family, and financial situation. The foundation receives and stewards gifts on behalf of other ministries.

Christ Lutheran Church will host a Legacy Giving for Family and Ministry Seminar following the worship service on Sunday, April 28. Morgan Schmidlin, our synod gift planner with the foundation, will discuss options and possibilities for our congregation's future.

During the seminar, we’ll discuss:

• How can we care for and provide for family and other loved ones and provide legacy gifts for ministry and other non-profit organizations?
• Review options for legacy gift sharing that will bless future generations forever.
• The foundation's services to the members of our congregation are provided at no cost and no obligation.

Lutheran Foundation of the Southwest works to recognize, inspire, facilitate, and teach legacy stewardship. 

Lutheran Foundation of the Southwest is a non-profit organization that provides services to ELCA congregations. It offers ministry sustainability and vitality through building generosity. Together with our synods, the foundation provides gift planners to congregational members. 

Our gift planner, Morgan Schmidlin, provides confidential consultation to help individuals explore options for legacy generosity for families, ministries, and other non-profit organizations. A bequest, trust, or other estate plan provides a way forward to remember family, loved ones, and God’s work in the world. Morgan Schmidlin can help put final wishes in writing to the best advantage of the donor and the ministries they wish to support. 

Gift planning provides peace of mind. A wide range of options allows a plan to be tailored to each member’s individual situation and goals.
