Letter From Brian Alnes
Prayer Partners
Calling all Prayer Warriors!! We want to have a Power Team in place for the 2019 Summer season. If you are willing to receive prayer requests and are committed to taking time each week to pray specifically for the
requests, we
want you to email
brian@lbbc.com
. We
are looking for your name, email address and hopefully a phone # so if we need to make contact with
you, we
can. Let us know if you prefer Email or Text message prayer
requests, and
we will get it all set up on this side.
Current prayer requests to start off with:
* Summer Staff is coming together, but we do still have a few key spots open. We need a Worship Leader, Wrangler, Male Counselor, and Activities people. We have some
amazing
names and many spots
hired, so
we are excited about
that. But there are still a few to go.
* Projects around camp. There are still a lot of things going on and the need for people, time, talents, and finances are a real deal. We are looking really good for most of what we want to have in place by Staff
Training but
keep
praying.
* We are very encouraged about what God has brought to the year-round staff team with the talents and dedication of the newest staff members.
* Those campers who have not yet signed up for camp. Early bird registration ends next
week, and
we want to make sure that we get them registered for camp before the early bird ends.
* Solid Rock - our students are finishing their year and graduation is May 11. Pray the students and professors finish well! Pray also for preparations for next year and next year's student class.
* Volunteers - We want to be praying from now through the summer that the volunteers
that we
need will find their way to LBBC and get registered.
* Final prayer request - That we would be prepared in all facets of programming, recruitment and planning for Summer
2019, so
the Holy Spirit has the space to transform lives.
If you are interested in receiving prayer requests each week/
day
let us know. If you are interested in coming to camp for a day with a team of people to just be here to pray over camp, let us know and we will get you on the schedule.

Dos and Don'ts of Required Minimum Distributions
You may have an opportunity to save even more for retirement in 2019 than you did last year. The 2019 cost-of-living-adjustments (COLAs), announced by the IRS in late 2018, included increases to IRA and 401(k) contribution limits, and modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) limits for Roth IRA contribution eligibility and Traditional IRA tax deductions.
IRA Contribution Limits:
If you're eligible, you can contribute up to 100 percent of earned income up to the annual statutory limit. If you become age 50 or older during the contribution year, you can contribute a "catch-up" amount too. The annual limit applies to all of your IRAs in total. Contributions you make to both Traditional and Roth IRAs are combined for this limit. See
IRS Publication 590-A
, Contributions to Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), for more information on IRA contributions.

401(k) Contribution Limits:
If you're an eligible retirement plan participant, your 401(k) plan may allow you to defer a percentage or dollar amount of your salary into the plan each pay period, and to contribute all or a portion of additional compensation (e.g., bonuses, commissions, tips) into the plan, up to a specified limit. The IRS sets an annual maximum contribution amount that plans may allow for salary deferrals in 401(k) plans.
You are subject to the annual statutory limit for all of your 401(k) plan deferrals and all types of deferrals (i.e., pretax, after-tax, designated Roth), in aggregate. If you turn age 50 or older during the year, your 401(k) plan may also allow catch-up contributions, up to an IRS defined limit. Talk to your plan
administrator
about your plan's specific eligibility requirements and contribution options.

IRA Eligibility:
You can contribute to a Traditional IRA if you (or your spouse) have eligible compensation-generally earned income-and you're not turning age 70½ or older in the contribution year. With a Roth IRA, there is no age restriction to contribute. But to be eligible to make a full or partial Roth IRA contribution, you (or your spouse) must have earned income and your MAGI must be less than or within IRS-defined
phase
-out limits.

Traditional IRA Deductibility:
Contributions to a Traditional IRA are fully deductible on your federal income tax return if you (or your spouse, if filing jointly) aren't active participants in an employer-sponsored retirement plan. But if you (or your spouse) are an active participant, the amount of your tax deduction depends on tax filing status and MAGI.
