MUMF WORKSHOP

Are there things you’d like to get in order that would make your intentions clear for your loved ones if you become incapacitated or after you’re gone? Things like: How to take care of your financial affairs and discern important documents; How to put together a will or trust that reflects your wishes; What you’d like your service of remembrance to include, as well as your burial or cremation wishes; The people, memories and dates that have been significant in your life; And so much more! While these are all important, they can also be emotional and difficult to discuss or discern. But when in order, they are an amazing gift from you to your loved ones.

Join Rev. Laura Murphy from the Missouri United Methodist Foundation on Tuesday, June 28th from 7-8:30 p.m. for a workshop that lays out how to get your house in order concerning these topics. Laura will present this information with the heart of a pastor and with training from the Foundation that helps people discern their legacy. Click here to learn more →
