Disciples provide help for
churches managing estate gifts Gifts from donors' estates are a special blessing. These gifts, received from the saints of our congregations, are often their final testimony that the church is called to stretch and serve many future generations. What a great gift this testimony can be to all of us! Yet in all of the work that we do, one paramount consideration deserves special focus: We must make it a priority to understand and to honor any donor restrictions on gifts made to the church. The Christian Church Foundation has just released a new resource to help congregational leaders understand their role as a steward of these gifts. A copy of the booklet is available for download at www.disciples.org/ccf/PDF/managingestategifts.pdf (PDF), or quantities can be ordered free of charge by calling 800-668-8016.
