August 2021: News, Updates, & Resources

Compass Initiative COHORT (August 16 - 7:00pm)

The Compass Initiative is designed to help pastors strengthen their personal financial literacy and management through a series of trainings. Two programs provide matching grants to help pastors alleviate debt or increase retirement savings. More information can be found at: https://www.compassinitiative.org/ or email: jeff@mnynaz.com.

An initial cohort will meet August – December 2021 to engage the Compass Quest. The orientation session will be held on Monday, August 16 @ 7:00pm via Zoom. Three checkpoints between August and December will provide encouragement, support and guidance. Completion of the program provides a matching grant of up to $1,000 (which could total up to $2,000!) to use toward debt reduction or retirement savings.

Aflac Supplement Insurance

The Metro New York District secured a partnership with Aflac to provide group rate supplemental insurance for district licensed/ ordained clergy or local church employees on the Metro NY District. This is NOT health insurance, but supplemental insurance policies to provide financial peace of mind in the event of an illness or accident.

Four policies are available for purchase: Critical Illness, Cancer, Accident, and Hospitalization. Contact jeff@mnynaz.com or 617-416-0605 with immediate questions.”
