As you are prayerfully considering
your BUILDING UP – REACHING OUT
commitment, please consider using the Simply
Giving® program for your contributions.
Through the
Simply Giving® program, your gifts
are made through a pre-authorized withdrawal from your bank account. You determine the frequency of your automatic
gift – weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly – the option is yours. Your gift is deposited into the OSLM bank
account on the same day it is withdrawn from your account.
The Simply Giving® program is a reliable,
safe way to move your stewardship plan into action. It allows you to share your gifts through
planned giving and activates your generosity into ongoing stewardship. Because your gift is given consistently, you
won’t need to play “catch-up” at year-end or worry about forgotten checkbooks
or missed Sunday offerings. But you’re
not the only one that benefits. Our congregation
benefits from steady, more predictable revenues throughout the year, more
efficient bookkeeping, and greater confidence in meeting our financial
commitments.
Please see
Joe Ryno for Enrollment Forms or any questions that you might have.

As we continue with the BUILDING UP – REACHING OUT campaign and
with the stock market up this year, it may be an advantage to a church member
to donate stock that has appreciated in value to the church rather than
cash. You will be able to claim a
charitable deduction in the amount of the current value of the donated stock. You will also avoid paying taxes on the
appreciated value of the donated stock.
Furthermore, the church pays no capital gains tax when it sells the
stock.
