Mark your calendars! The Annual Congregational Meeting will take place on Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 10:45 a.m. in the sanctuary. Please plan to attend and vote on the budget as well as nominees for various positions.

Total $41,800! Since the formation of the Epiphany Endowment Fund, distributions to social agencies have now reached $41,800.   Among the recipients are:  LSSI Villa Park Counseling, PADS, Adult Christian Care Center, York Pantry, Walk-in Ministry, Northern Illinois Food Bank and the Worldwide Heifer Project. Total assets of the fund are $260,276.49 and "Lasting Legacy Gifts" received thus far in 2009 total $2,446.   Although interest rates have been extremely low, in recent years the fund has been able to generate about $10,000 in interest annually to support social agencies.  The Endowment Fund greatly appreciates the contributions of congregational members, contributions that enable the committee to continue to support needy organizations and people.   Because only interest is expended--and not the principal--the gifts of members are truly "lasting legacy gifts' as they will remain in the fund, adding to the principal each time a gift is made. Thank you for your wonderful support.   The Endowment Committee
