TAMMY UPDATE – 11/18/23
As many of you know, our beloved Tammy had spinal fusion surgery on October 30th. Her initial surgery & recovery period at Weiss Hospital went very well!
On Thursday, November 9th she was transferred to a (so-called) skilled nursing facility for rehab, where her progress significantly regressed.
On Friday, November 17th a blood clot was found in Tammy’s lungs, which impaired both her breathing and heart function. She spent several hours in the ER, with Pastor Ann-Louise by her side, and has been admitted to the CCU at St. Francis for further monitoring.
Alas, Tammy also tested positive for COVID while in the ER, so she’s not allowed any visitors at the moment. She does have her cell phone with her, so feel free to call with well wishes. And keep those prayers flowing her way!

The Stewardship Committee looks forward to receiving your pledge for 2024 by Sunday, December 3rd!
You can return it by mail to the Church Office,
or bring it with you to church on 11/19 or 12/3!
The committee would also like to remind you that If you are 70 1/2 or older and have a traditional IRA, you can give up to $100,000 per year tax free to charitable organizations. This is known as as the IRA Charitable Rollover – or as the Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) on your tax return. A married couple can each give up $100,000 from their respective IRAs each year. The gift can satisfy all or part of your annual Required Minimum Distribution (or RMDs). The transfer to charity does not qualify for an income tax deduction but instead it escapes the income tax that you would otherwise have owed on your RMD. This avoidance of income tax is as helpful as a deduction especially if you do not itemize your deductions.
You are encouraged to consider an IRA Charitable Rollover to Wellington United Church of Christ. You can make a gift to the operating budget, fulfill your pledge, or give to any special fund
(like Outreach or the Endowment, for example) that you designate.
To make an IRA Charitable Rollover please contact your IRA administrator to request the appropriate form.
Your generosity will make a difference.
