RECTORY FUND OCTOBER 25, 2026
Have you seen the Campaign Progress Thermometer in Polycarp Hall? Our fund-raising success, so far, has been amazing. We are half-way to our goal. Please remember that some of our early success is due to a few large grants and gifts. THANK YOU!! Know that we still owe interest on our loan as well as preparation, installation and finishing costs of the Rectory.
Here are other ways to give to the Rectory Fund besides by cash and pledges:
- IRA Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) can be donated through a Qualified Charitable Contribution (QCD) process which avoids the tax on the IRA redemption.
- Appreciated stock can be donated so that the owner doesn’t pay capital gains on the appreciation.
- You can name COS in your will, trust or as a beneficiary.
Please remember that the first $30,000 received from donors will be matched by an anonymous COS donor. This means your gift is DOUBLED!!
Our church is counting on us to be successful with this fund-raising campaign.
Please remember that your Rectory gift/pledge is separate from your regular offering. COS needs both. Operational expenses (heat, light, water, etc) continue all through the year!
Blessings and Thanks Bob Nyman, Chair
