Planned Giving Information Sessions: Sunday, May 5th at 10:10am and 12:15pm in the Fellowship Hall or Wednesday, May 8th, 6:30pm, room A107.

Planned Giving is simply more ways for you to support SFUMC in furthering the work of making disciples of Jesus Christ.

The types of giving that will be discussed are appreciated stocks, mutual funds, other marketable securities, bequests, and donor advised funds. We will have people on hand to answer questions and explain what all of this means.

We hope you can make one of our sessions. You may also check out the church website, smyrnafumc.org/give/ for definitions of these ways to give.
