Did you know that August is National Make-a-Will Month?

For the next few weeks, the RMC and the Pension Boards-UCC are encouraging all RMC members to begin their financial planning process and to take advantage of FreeWill, a platform that allows UCC members to create a legally binding will for free! Our primary goal is to encourage legacy planning and help UCC members, pastors, and churches secure long-term financial stability for their congregations.

FreeWill is a no-cost, easy to use tool that allows you to create or update your will in minutes. It also allows you to leave one or more planned gifts to the UCC initiatives you care about, including National Ministries, your local church or conference, Ministerial Assistance like The Christmas Forever Fund, and any other nonprofits.

Members of the Rocky Mountain Conference can get started with FreeWill by visiting this page: https://partner.freewill.com/uccwestern

You’re also invited to watch a 1-hour training and orientation video led by the Pension Boards. This video will give you an overview of the FreeWill platform. Please click this link to watch the video.

Congregations that might want help spreading the word to their members about legacy planning, giving, and FreeWill are welcome to use the FreeWill Marketing Library, which can be accessed via this link. On that page, churches can find templates for newsletters, social media and more.
