Greetings from All In Community,
With 1 in 25 Ohioans under correctional control, we all know someone who's been touched by the criminal justice system -- whether we know it or not. What if our churches became the communities where hope, help, and healing changes this reality?   With God, anything is possible!
Mission Possible: A Pre-Retirement Seminar
 
Did you know that according to a recent Insured Retirement Institute survey, 45% of folks between the ages of 52 and 70 have nothing saved for retirement? Nothing, zero, zilch, nada. Take a minute and let that sink in. Did you know that only 24% are confident they will have enough savings to last throughout retirement? That figure is down 12% from just four years ago. While statistics can be helpful, they may not reflect your story. So, how confident are you? How confident is your spouse? Will you be prepared when retirement comes?

Your Conference wants to walk this retirement journey with you. With that in mind, the WOC will present Mission Possible, a pre-retirement seminar for those 50 years young and up. Wespath (formerly The General Board of Pension and Health Benefits) representatives will lead this free one-day seminar on Tuesday, October 11, at Reynoldsburg United Methodist Church from 9am to 2pm.
