What
is Lydia's Legacy? |
|
Adopted
at the Michigan District LWML 2000 Convention, this
endowment was established to help perpetuate the
charitable wishes and ministries of the Michigan
District LWML. Your generosity will continue to
benefit the LWML and the LCMS for many years.
|
The Lydia
Legacy Endowment Fund, as of Feb. 15, 2008 is at $88,271.10
with a goal of $100,000. We reached our first goal in four
years. Let's continue to aim to reach our goal in the near future. Any
request for interest funds will be reviewed by a Finance
Committee. The money will be available for scholarships,
mission trips, retreats, conferences, etc.

Who
was Lydia? |
|
"One
of those listening was a woman named Lydia...who was
a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to
respond to Paul's message." Acts 16:14 Lydia
hard-dyed purple cloth and the money she made selling her
beautiful cloth was used to help support the mission work of
Paul, helping to bring the Good News of Jesus to others.

How
do I leave a gift in memory of a person for Lydia's
Legacy? |
|
A
gift to Lydia's Legacy is a beautiful way to
recognize or pay tribute to someone who has made a
difference in your life. This kind of memorial gift
can be created in different ways. Examples are a
direct gift of cash or stock deferred gifts through
your will or trust, or by designating Lydia's Legacy
as a beneficiary of life insurance or retirement
benefits. Many of our Lutheran members are
remembering both their loved ones and the special
ministry that is dear to their heart in their will.
You can help with
Memorial or Honorarium Gifts, Mother's Day, Birthdays,
Anniversaries, or Special Occasions. |
|
Who
can help me arrange for this gift? |
|
Marcene Santacrose is the
chairman of the Michigan District LWML Special Gift Fund. She
can direct you to specialists who can assist you in making
decisions regarding leaving your gifts to the Legacy. Contact
Shirley through
webmaster@mi-lwml.org
Please know, however, that your gifts of cash through memorials
or gifts given in honor of persons special to you are just as
important as those given through wills or trusts.
Now,
through Lydia's Legacy you can support the work of the Michigan
District LWML tomorrow as well as today. Can't think
of anything to give a friend or relative? Let
them know you remembered and honored them with a gift to Lydia's
Legacy.
