Dear %%=v(@TitleCaseFirstName)=%%,
We at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne (CTSFW), want to bring to your attention a resource that will benefit you, your loved ones, and the charities you care about.
National Estate Planning Awareness Week is October 21–27, which provides a perfect opportunity to reflect on what’s important to you in relation to your family, your faith, and your future. These conversations can provide greater clarity and peace of mind as you consider:
Guardianship: Whom do I trust to care for my children and raise them in the faith?
Financial management: Have I thoughtfully stewarded my assets to advance the Kingdom?
Healthcare decisions: Do my medical wishes align with my values and Christ’s teachings?
Legacy: How can I build a legacy that supports faithful Gospel proclamation?
To help you with this process, CTSFW sponsors a free online estate planning service. You may access it here or by visiting our website, ctsfw.edu, and clicking the red Donate button on the homepage.
If you believe in the value of forming faithful pastors and other church workers for Christ’s church, please consider a legacy gift to CTSFW. It’s a powerful way to put your faith into action and support our mission.
May God guide you in these conversations as you steward the gifts He has entrusted to your care.
Blessings,
