EMPOWERING YOUR FUTURE

From Cradle to Grave

March 1, 2026, 1:15 PM – 2:45 PM

Spiritual Life Center, 2201 Park Towne Circle, Sacramento, CA 95825

Join us in the SLC Sanctuary at 1:15 pm to 2:45 pm.  Lunch available for $5.00 after 11 a.m. service. The event is free.

Planning for the future isn’t just about money — it’s about protecting the people, values, and causes that matter most to you.

Join our expert panel for an informative and practical conversation on how to make informed and competent financial decisions today that create lasting security tomorrow. You’ll gain clear, accessible guidance on smart spending, investing with purpose, and making your charitable giving as tax-efficient and impactful as possible.

You’ll also learn how thoughtful estate planning ensures that the people and things you love — your children, pets, and treasured possessions — are cared for according to your wishes when you are no longer able to do so yourself--and that your family will not be burdened with settling your estate.

Why Start Now?

The earlier you plan, the more options and peace of mind you have. Whether you’re just beginning your career, raising a family, or approaching retirement, it’s never too soon — or too late — to put a plan in place.

For example, parents should consider who would raise their children in the event of an untimely loss. These are difficult decisions--but making them in advance is one of the greatest gifts you can give your family. This way you will have the time to consider options as well to grow your investments.

We’ll Cover Topics such as:

• The dramatic long-term impact of starting to save and invest early

• Key differences between Wills and Trusts

• How to talk with loved ones about your plans and wishes

• Understanding Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)

• Planning ahead for incapacity through powers of attorney and healthcare directives

• Tax-wise charitable giving, including gifts of stocks, bonds, and real estate

• Charitable gifts that can provide income back to you

• Practical, low-cost planning options for those who may not need a trust

• What to do if hiring an attorney or financial planner isn’t financially possible

Plan Wisely. Give Wisely. Live with Confidence.

This session is designed to educate and empower — no matter your stage of life or financial situation. Come learn how small, thoughtful steps today can create meaningful security for tomorrow.
