Dear Saddleback Family,
I can’t wait to share all three messages I’ve prepared for you this Christmas!
BRING YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY TO ALL 3
THIS WEEKEND: A CHRISTMAS CHAT
I’m speaking on RADICAL JOY! (Celebrating the season) Don’t miss this intimate Christmas service with Doyle Dykes, world renowned acoustical guitarist, as my special musical guest.
Dec 22-24:
CHRISTMAS @ SADDLEBACK. I’m speaking on RADICAL LOVE! (God’s Christmas gift to you)
Dec. 26-27: NEW YEAR’S SERVICE
I’m speaking on RADICAL HOPE! Don’t begin the new decade without this important message.
LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEA
This weekend, I’ve invited all our Saddleback authors to autograph their books after each service on the patio at our book pavilion. Give the gift of inspiration! No church has as many Gold Medallion & Award Winning authors as Saddleback.
END OF THE YEAR GIVING
With the proposed changes in federal tax laws, giving this year may save you more than ever. The higher your tax rate, the more your gifts will save you. But remember, only gifts made by Dec. 31 can reduce the taxes you pay next April.
There are many other ways, in addition to cash, that you can make your end-of-the-year charitable gift to your church family and our global outreach through the PEACE plan.
SECURITIES – Giving stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares that are worth more than they cost will save you taxes. These are generally deductable from your income tax at full current value if owned for more than a year. If your investments are worth less than they cost – then sell them and give the proceeds for a deductable loss. The combined deduction for your gift AND the loss may actually total more than the current value.
If you’d like advice on giving from a RETIREMENT PLAN, a LIFE INSURANCE POLICY, an ANNUITY, or through your WILL or ESTATE, we can help you. Ask for Dave Arnold at our church office (949) 293-3695 or email davea@saddleback.com.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
