Would you like to support the broadcast and print ministry of Worship Anew AND receive a fixed payment for the rest of your or a loved ones’ life?

We would like to introduce you to our new Charitable Gift Annuity program at Worship Anew. Charitable Gift Annuities have been in existence since the 1830s, and now with Worship Anew you, too, can benefit the ministry by donating cash, appreciated assets, such as stocks, or other non-income-producing assets, such as land, and receive a fixed payment for you or up to two lives for the rest of your life. Your gift may also qualify you for a federal charitable tax deduction if you itemize, and your payments may be tax-advantaged, as well. This, and you will know that the balance of your gift will support the ministry at Worship Anew for generations to come.

If you would like additional, no-obligation information on Charitable Gift Annuity options for you or a loved one, please contact Jon Dize, CFRE, Director of Operations and Legacy Giving at (888) 286-8002 ext. 107 or Legacy@WorshipAnew.org.

You may also learn more at our website at WorshipAnew.org/Legacy to see what Charitable Gift Annuity options may be possible for you.

The Parable of the Talents

14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. 17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money. 19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ 21 His master said to him,

‘Well done, good and faithful servant.

You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’ 23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground.Here,you have what is yours.’ 26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
