CHALLENGE GIFT
One of our beloved parishioners, as part of their Lenten meditation and prayer, has felt moved to make a very generous gift to our church, and they would like for any of their fellow parishioners who may feel similarly moved to join them. This parishioner, who wishes to remain anonymous, has offered to match all new gifts made by their fellow parishioners (whether in the form of an increased pledge or a one-time gift) up to $100,000!
As you all know, the last year has been a challenging time for our church, our staff, the ministries we support, and so many of you. Indeed, the Vestry passed a deficit budget at our February meeting. At a time of great need, this gift is an answer to prayer and a sign of the love that holds us together as a church family.
To all those who, after prayerful consideration, feel moved to participate in this special opportunity, please label a One Time Gift as “Challenge Gift” from the drop-down menu, or send an email to Cathy Cheatwood to increase your pledge and put “in response to the Challenge Gift” in the subject line.

STOCK DONATIONS
Upcoming Year-End Reminders from the Finance Office…
You may want to consider donating stock to fulfill your pledge. Gifts of stock can provide donors with a double tax benefit. First, you are able to claim a charitable donation on the current amount of the donated stock, not just the amount you originally paid for it. Second, you do not pay taxes on the appreciated value of the stock. Should you decide this is something you might want to do, please contact Cathy Cheatwood in the finance office at 770-993-1094, ext. 120, to get St. David’s account number and DTC # required for a broker to broker transaction This is a fairly easy way to make the transfer without all the paperwork.
Important: St. David’s has made some changes to our account, so please call or email Cathy Cheatwood in the Finance Office for the new information BEFORE making a stock donation.
Lastly, St. David’s appreciates all your contributions. Each individual gift, financial and spiritual, will make a difference!
