Your Gifts Put to Work: Thrive

Hello friends,

For years Congregational Ministries has supported churches, pastors and church staff with resources. When the name of Congregational ministries was changed to Thrive, it was to emphasize that we want to see congregations thrive!
This year Thrive has embarked on a huge Multi-year project called Thriving Congregations, helping congregations imagine what God may be calling them to next. 

Congregations across the CRCNA are navigating complex times, Thrive’s role is to equip leaders and congregations with the tools, resources, and relational networks that help them discern God’s call for their unique mission in the midst of change.
I wanted to share with you some information about this initiative and and ways you and your church can support the ministry of Thrive to churches across the US and Canada HERE https://network.crcna.org/topic/church-administration/church-admin-finance/ministry-organization/how-your-church-can-support 

Thank you for your faithful partnership in strengthening churches and equipping congregations for renewal!

Giving Real Estate to support your favorite ministries 
Recently, I heard of a man who sold his vacation cottage in northern Michigan simply to relieve the burden of upkeep and property taxes. Many people find themselves in a similar position—owning property they no longer use or wish to manage. But did you know that you can donate real estate—such as a vacation home, rental property, or farmland—to support CRC ministries?
Giving appreciated property can:

• Eliminate ongoing maintenance and tax expenses
• Avoid capital gains taxes
• Provide a charitable deduction
• Redirect valuable assets toward Kingdom work

It’s a meaningful way to repurpose what you no longer need into lasting ministry impact.
