EASTER DRIVE-THRU SERVICE CANCELLED
It is with sadness and regret that we announce we have chosen to cancel the Easter Drive-Thru Service. We value the safety of our community and had taken every precaution to create a plan that would ensure adherence to guidelines set forth. However, due to the evolving situation and recent updates regarding the Coronavirus, it became clear over the weekend that the best and safest thing to do was cancel the plan.
In doing so, we would like to express our immense appreciation and gratitude for everyone who worked so hard on the planning and preparation. We are grateful for all the shared excitement many of you expressed.
We will still be doing our online service as we have done the past couple of weeks. Please join us at todayschurch.com.

WILL YOUR TAXES AFFECT YOUR RETIREMENT?
Strategies to help you work toward a lower tax bracket in retirement. When you retire, you leave behind many things— the daily grind, the
commute to work, and maybe even your previous home. However, one thing that will always remain is a tax bill. Income taxes are different for the various retirement investments you may have. It’s critical to have a solid understanding of the tax status of your investments so you can make informed decisions and avoid paying more than your fair share.
