			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>            Dear Saddleback Family,<br />
            &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I can&#8217;t wait to share all three messages I&#8217;ve prepared for you this Christmas!</p>
<p>            BRING YOUR FRIENDS &amp; FAMILY TO ALL 3 </p>
<p>            THIS WEEKEND: &nbsp;A CHRISTMAS CHAT<br />
            I&#8217;m speaking on RADICAL JOY! (Celebrating the season) &nbsp;Don&#8217;t miss this intimate Christmas service with Doyle Dykes, world renowned acoustical guitarist, as my special musical guest.</p>
<p>            Dec 22-24:<br />
            CHRISTMAS @ SADDLEBACK. I&#8217;m speaking on RADICAL LOVE! (God&#8217;s Christmas gift to you) &nbsp;</p>
<p>            Dec. 26-27: NEW YEAR&#8217;S SERVICE<br />
            &nbsp;I&#8217;m speaking on RADICAL HOPE! Don&#8217;t begin the new decade without this important message.<br />
            &nbsp;</p>
<p>            LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEA<br />
            This weekend, I&#8217;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! &nbsp;No church has as many Gold Medallion &amp; Award Winning authors as Saddleback.<br />
            &nbsp;<br />
            END OF THE YEAR GIVING</p>
<p>            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. &nbsp;But remember, only gifts made by Dec. 31 can reduce the taxes you pay next April.<br />
            &nbsp;<br />
            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. </p>
<p>            SECURITIES &#8211; Giving stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares that are worth more than they cost will save you taxes. &nbsp;These are generally deductable from your income tax at full current value if owned for more than a year. &nbsp;If your investments are worth less than they cost &#8211; then sell them and give the proceeds for a deductable loss. &nbsp;The combined deduction for your gift AND the loss may actually total more than the current value.</p>
<p>            If you&#8217;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. &nbsp;Ask for Dave Arnold at our church office (949) 293-3695 or email davea@saddleback.com.<br />
            &nbsp;<br />
            MERRY CHRISTMAS!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>            Dear Saddleback Family,<br />
            &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I can&#8217;t wait to share all three messages I&#8217;ve prepared for you this Christmas!</p>
<p>            BRING YOUR FRIENDS &amp; FAMILY TO ALL 3 </p>
<p>            THIS WEEKEND: &nbsp;A CHRISTMAS CHAT<br />
            I&#8217;m speaking on RADICAL JOY! (Celebrating the season) &nbsp;Don&#8217;t miss this intimate Christmas service with Doyle Dykes, world renowned acoustical guitarist, as my special musical guest.</p>
<p>            Dec 22-24:<br />
            CHRISTMAS @ SADDLEBACK. I&#8217;m speaking on RADICAL LOVE! (God&#8217;s Christmas gift to you) &nbsp;</p>
<p>            Dec. 26-27: NEW YEAR&#8217;S SERVICE<br />
            &nbsp;I&#8217;m speaking on RADICAL HOPE! Don&#8217;t begin the new decade without this important message.<br />
            &nbsp;</p>
<p>            LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEA<br />
            This weekend, I&#8217;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! &nbsp;No church has as many Gold Medallion &amp; Award Winning authors as Saddleback.<br />
            &nbsp;<br />
            END OF THE YEAR GIVING</p>
<p>            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. &nbsp;But remember, only gifts made by Dec. 31 can reduce the taxes you pay next April.<br />
            &nbsp;<br />
            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. </p>
<p>            SECURITIES &#8211; Giving stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares that are worth more than they cost will save you taxes. &nbsp;These are generally deductable from your income tax at full current value if owned for more than a year. &nbsp;If your investments are worth less than they cost &#8211; then sell them and give the proceeds for a deductable loss. &nbsp;The combined deduction for your gift AND the loss may actually total more than the current value.</p>
<p>            If you&#8217;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. &nbsp;Ask for Dave Arnold at our church office (949) 293-3695 or email davea@saddleback.com.<br />
            &nbsp;<br />
            MERRY CHRISTMAS!</p>

<p>            THIS WEEKEND: &nbsp;A CHRISTMAS CHAT<br />
            I&#8217;m speaking on RADICAL JOY! (Celebrating the season) &nbsp;Don&#8217;t miss this intimate Christmas service with Doyle Dykes, world renowned acoustical guitarist, as my special musical guest.</p>
<p>            Dec 22-24:<br />
            CHRISTMAS @ SADDLEBACK. I&#8217;m speaking on RADICAL LOVE! (God&#8217;s Christmas gift to you) &nbsp;</p>
<p>            Dec. 26-27: NEW YEAR&#8217;S SERVICE<br />
            &nbsp;I&#8217;m speaking on RADICAL HOPE! Don&#8217;t begin the new decade without this important message.<br />
            &nbsp;</p>
<p>            LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEA<br />
            This weekend, I&#8217;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! &nbsp;No church has as many Gold Medallion &amp; Award Winning authors as Saddleback.<br />
            &nbsp;<br />
            END OF THE YEAR GIVING</p>
<p>            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. &nbsp;But remember, only gifts made by Dec. 31 can reduce the taxes you pay next April.<br />
            &nbsp;<br />
            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. </p>
<p>            SECURITIES &#8211; Giving stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares that are worth more than they cost will save you taxes. &nbsp;These are generally deductable from your income tax at full current value if owned for more than a year. &nbsp;If your investments are worth less than they cost &#8211; then sell them and give the proceeds for a deductable loss. &nbsp;The combined deduction for your gift AND the loss may actually total more than the current value.</p>
<p>            If you&#8217;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. &nbsp;Ask for Dave Arnold at our church office (949) 293-3695 or email davea@saddleback.com.<br />
            &nbsp;<br />
            MERRY CHRISTMAS!</p>

<p>            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. &nbsp;But remember, only gifts made by Dec. 31 can reduce the taxes you pay next April.<br />
            &nbsp;<br />
            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. </p>
<p>            SECURITIES &#8211; Giving stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares that are worth more than they cost will save you taxes. &nbsp;These are generally deductable from your income tax at full current value if owned for more than a year. &nbsp;If your investments are worth less than they cost &#8211; then sell them and give the proceeds for a deductable loss. &nbsp;The combined deduction for your gift AND the loss may actually total more than the current value.</p>
<p>            If you&#8217;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. &nbsp;Ask for Dave Arnold at our church office (949) 293-3695 or email davea@saddleback.com.<br />
            &nbsp;<br />
            MERRY CHRISTMAS!</p>

            &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I can&#8217;t wait to share all three messages I&#8217;ve prepared for you this Christmas!</p>
<p>            BRING YOUR FRIENDS &amp; FAMILY TO ALL 3 </p>
<p>            THIS WEEKEND: &nbsp;A CHRISTMAS CHAT<br />
            I&#8217;m speaking on RADICAL JOY! (Celebrating the season) &nbsp;Don&#8217;t miss this intimate Christmas service with Doyle Dykes, world renowned acoustical guitarist, as my special musical guest.</p>
<p>            Dec 22-24:<br />
            CHRISTMAS @ SADDLEBACK. I&#8217;m speaking on RADICAL LOVE! (God&#8217;s Christmas gift to you) &nbsp;</p>

<p>            LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEA<br />
            This weekend, I&#8217;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! &nbsp;No church has as many Gold Medallion &amp; Award Winning authors as Saddleback.<br />
