Did you know that 67% of American adults say they have no will or estate plan in place? Give your loved ones the gift of preparation! Make it a priority to make or update *your* will.

Why ensure that you have a will in place? From Thrivent: "Your will gives you the option to nominate a guardian for your minor children and include specific instructions for their care in the event of your death. It may also contain your wishes for a memorial service, your decisions about burial, and details about how your cherished possessions and keepsakes should be distributed to loved ones.

As you're making decisions, you might consider whether you'd like to include a charitable organization such as Our Saviour's in your estate planning. Note that when designating an organization as a beneficiary, you can leave whatever percentage you choose to that organization and/or other charitable groups.

In the video below, Doreen Damge, a member of Our Saviour's Endowment Committee, shares why she and her husband, Scott, wanted to "pay it forward" for other families by making Our Saviour's part of their planning for the future.
