ESTATE PLANNING WORKSHOP

January 19, 2020 | 12:15 p.m. | Parker Hall

Let’s be honest, estate planning isn’t the most enticing topic to spend your free time on. The last thing you want to do after a long week at work is to dive into the depths of the internet to attempt to understand what an estate plan actually is and why you need one. Even if you do get that far, it’s hard to know where even to begin to start making an estate plan. Can you write one yourself? Do you have to hire a lawyer? What information do you even need? The Planned Giving Department and attorney, Blaine Frizzell, will help take the mystery out of estate planning. Bring your questions. This workshop is free and open to the public. A light lunch is served. Register today at fumctulsa.org/estate or by calling Stacy at 918.592.3862.

Share Your Story!

There is power in your story. God has allowed unique experiences in your life so that you can relate to, and share them with, others. Telling about God’s faithfulness is an encouragement to others and a blessing to you. We celebrate every story we receive, and we are always looking for opportunities to share what God is doing in the lives of people at First Methodist through events, social media, and online! Take the next step on your discipleship (faith) journey and share your story. Head to fumctulsa.org/story to do it.
