Stewardship: Planned Giving
Calvary members who have included the church
in their estate plan become members of the Walker Gwynne Society, named in
honor of our beloved rector at the turn of the 20th century who directed
the building of our present church and rode his bicycle house to house to
raise the funds for the mortgage.
Where does your gift
to Calvary go?
A planned gift to Calvary goes to The Heritage Funds,
which have been designed to allow you intentional control over what
happens to your gift. You can select the particular fund into which your
gift will go:
-
The Premises Fund: for the
maintenance and repair of the buildings and grounds of Calvary and for
projects of enduring character.
-
The Christian Mission Fund: for
support of worthy organizations furthering the mission of the church,
and for scholarship and outreach projects.
-
The Christian Education Fund: for the
teaching ministry of Calvary including work with youth.
-
The Parish Life and Music Fund: for
the enrichment of worship, music, fellowship and lay ministry at Calvary
and for the enhancement of the organ.
-
The Remembrance
Fund: for memorial gifts and "in lieu of" contributions, to be used
for worthwhile purposes.
