Planned Giving
 
Grace Episcopal Church has been serving Muskogee for 130 years. During that time, we have endeavored to bring Christ into the lives of people in our community through our outreach programs and by welcoming all individuals into our church family.  Today, we, the parishioners at Grace are fulfilling our role in bringing Christ into the lives of people because of the care and planning of the conscientious people who were here before us.
 
Now it is our turn to secure Grace’s future by equipping our future leaders with the tools and resources to thrive. Will you help build Grace for those who follow us?  
 

 

Here is the request:  When you are finished with all that you have been given by God, would you consider sharing some of it back?  After your lifetime, would you share some of your resources to raise up and support our church, its programs, and the leaders who will come after us? 

Why?  Please, not because we asked.  Please, not for guilt or obligation.  Do so because you want to ensure our upcoming generations of families and individuals have a church home.  Do so because you want to equip our future church leaders with the resources they will need to flourish. The next generation needs us all to plan now.

How?  Consider a planned gift.  This is a gift from the resources in your estate. The most common planned gift is a bequest, but many different options are available depending on your estate and heirs. Please speak with your professional advisors to discuss your goals and giving options. 

If you have any questions in relation to the church and how best you might help the church with your gift, then please contact:  Fr. Chris Cole – fr.chris@gracemuskogee.org; Alex Wilson – alexcalewilson@gmail.com; Van Odom – vanodom@suddenlink.net; or, the church office at 918-687-5416.
 

We are here to help you in any way that we can.

Please read the enclosed materials and prayerfully consider supporting the future of our church, just as others have done before us.

If you have previously made a legacy gift, please let us know.  Since this qualifies you to be a member of the Grace Heritage Society, we will send you an invitation to join. The Society will recognize, with each person’s permission, all people who have given or plan to give a legacy gift.
 
Yours in Christ,
