Planned Giving Corner: Expanding our ministries

Does the Book of Common Prayer have anything to say about planned giving?

Yes, it does! Page 445 (Thanksgiving for a Child) includes the following… “The Minister of the Congregation is directed to instruct the people, from time to time, about the duty of Christian parents to make prudent provision for the well-being of their families, and of all persons to make wills, while they are in health, arranging for the disposal of their temporal goods, not neglecting, if they are able, to leave bequests for religious and charitable uses.”
