BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
We had a wonderful response to my article last week with several new participants signing up to scan their receipts. A big Thank You to the parent who purchased Nugget merchandise and added $40.00 to our total! If we get 4 new enrollees in the program before the end of the month, we will earn another bonus. It's easy to do. Download the BTFE app, assign St. Peter as your school, use our special Referral code of RKJ22BC8 when prompted and scan your receipts. Even if you think you didn't purchase a participating product, you would be surprised at how often a product pops up that you didn't realize was in the program. So scan everything! You can scan a receipt up to two weeks after purchase, so pull out those receipts from your back-to-school grocery and school supply shopping. Please consider participating in this worthwhile program. It costs you nothing but a few seconds of your time after every shopping trip. We earn money based on what you purchased.

TRANSFER THE BLESSING
Jerry said to his friend Paul, “I just came from the doctor. I do not like conversations at the doctor’s office. I get so tongue tied, I forget about what I wanted to ask the doctor. I am trying to think about what certain words mean and before I know it, I am being ushered out of the office without talking about everything I needed to discuss.” Paul replied, “I know what you are talking about. It is the same reason that I have not been getting my estate plan updated. When I get around legal people, I hear words like codicils, per stirpes and in vivo. I get so stressed about keeping it all straight that I put it all off for another year.” Legal terms and carefully crafted documents all have particularly important purposes in our estate plans. Sometimes, the difference between a contested estate and non-contested estate may come down to the proper use of these words. In truth, which may be stressful for you. That is why it is important to start talking about your goals, thinking, and praying, before facing that stress head on. That is where working collaboratively with a Christian Estate Planner can help. Your planner is a fellow believer who wants to stand alongside you, to assist and encourage you in expressing your wishes clearly. Once that is achieved, the counselor will assist in sharing that with your attorney so you can be confident that all your desires are known. In the process, you can gain a new friend, sharing life in Jesus. To receive help with the foregoing , at no cost to you, please contact St. Peter Christian Estate Planner, Ray Pagels, on his cell : 847-226-2262 or on hid email at raymondpagels1@gmail.com
