October 12, 2025

Thank you for your commitments and for being open to God's direction in your life. For those of you who missed this commitment opportunity last Sunday, it is not too late! You can go online at the link below and complete an online commitment card. Cards will also be available in the foyer this Sunday.


QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DEDUCTIONS AND

APPRECIATED STOCK

I (Pastor David) have had numerous conversations with folks about making tax advantaged donations to Knollwood. Some of this interest relates to our generosity initiative, Increase Our Reach, but it applies across giving seasons. The article and information sheet below provide information and answer questions around 2 of these beneficial strategies:


  1. Qualified Charitable Deductions in 2025 - QCD's in 2025, and 
  2. Donation of Appreciated Securities

IT’S NOT TOO LATE!

FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY
