2006 TAXABLE CONTRIBUTIONS
Donors must deliver or mail (and postmark)
checks on or by December 31, 2006, in order to claim a charitable deduction for
2006. Checks that are placed in the
church offering during the first worship service in 2007 will not qualify for a
charitable contribution deduction in 2006 even if the check is predated
to 2006 or was actually written in 2006.
However, checks that are written, mailed and postmarked in
2006 will be deductible in 2006 though they are not received by a church until
2007. This means that all checks
placed in the offering plate on December 31, 2006, including the New Year’s Eve
service, will be part of your 2006 offering record.
To
all of you who shared your nativity scenes with Our Savior Lutheran
Ministries. So many people enjoyed them

school. For those of you who have not
yet retrieved your nativity set, they are on the table in back of church. Please pick yours up and enjoy it in your
home.
