NAME THAT GROUP CONTEST!

The Endowment Committee has received some excellent responses
to our naming contest. So far the following names have been suggested for this group: "The Loaves and Fishes Society", "The Appanage Society" and "Heritage Builders". We are still open to suggestions. We will be giving a $25 gift certificate to Outback Steakhouse for the individual that comes up with the best name.

The group to be formed will be made up of people who are interested in making a bequest to OSLC Endowment Fund now, or by naming the church in their will or trust. The idea for this group came from a couple of our winter residents, David and Dee Garrett, from Indiana, who are planning to leave a portion of their estate to Our Savior, along with their church up north and other places, and would like to encourage others to do the same. This is a wonderful, generous
idea and a way to continue to make a difference and contribute
to the health and well being of God's work beyond our years.

The Endowment Fund at Our Savior was established thanks to an initial bequest from the Victor Miski estate. The Fund is typically used as seed money to start up new ministries.

Recently Our Savior received a bequest from the Sandra Swartout estate in the amount of $10,000. What a wonderful way to remember the church and help the work of the church continue even after you are gone! Others have also named Our Savior in their wills. This proposed organization within the congregation will recognize those who are doing that and encourage others to do the same.

If you have a name to suggest for this group, please pass it along. And...consider remembering the church in your will!

Send your ideas to the church office.

Thanks!
