Presented by: Lorne & Mary Lynn
When it comes to all the to-do’s in our lives, getting our things in order and creating a Will tends to be one of the things we put off until another day. There are many reasons why we procrastinate, but we are often worried about some difficult decisions to make, and we aren’t sure where to go for help. When asked, people identified ‘Peace of Mind’ as the first benefit of completing their Will and Estate Plan. The satisfaction of knowing that a plan is in place, your Will is well-designed, you have taken care of your loved ones, the hard decisions are made, and your Will reflects your goals and values can put your heart and mind at ease.
We invite you to join our partners at Advisors with Purpose for this one-hour webinar hosted by Lorne Jackson and Mary Lynn Huizinga. They will discuss several situations and topics of concern to many people and how you can plan well for them.

Webinar Recording: Money & Your Discipleship Journey | February 28, 2023
Many of us struggle with money and feel like we never get ahead. We find it difficult to balance between our wants, our needs and our desire to do well. Yet, Jesus called us to live counter-culturally. He calls His people out of the world’s systems and narrative to have a Godly perspective. Jesus wants us to walk in freedom and lays out the guidelines to do so. Our partners at Advisors with Purpose hosted this webinar which explores what the Bible has to say about Jesus’ teaching on finances and how our perspective and use of money can affect our walk with the Lord.

Webinar Recording: Your Will as a Love Letter | January 26, 2023
What was covered:
Creating a Will can be like writing a love letter. Thinking through your options, making good choices and considering those you love can say more to them than you may think. Having your things in order is one way to let your family and heirs know that you love them enough to not burden them with making decisions on their own during their time of grief. What will your love letter say? Will it share your hopes and dreams for those you love? Will it speak of your faith and values? Will it share your heart for generosity? This webinar discusses the importance of choosing the right executor, powers of attorney and having a living will/personal directive. Explanations on trusts, how to speak with your family members and some of the best ways to share with your family and heirs are also provided in this webinar.
