Thanksgiving is next week, Christmas is little more than a month away, and right behind that is New Year’s.

When you consider everything that needs to get done at home and at church between now and December 31, do you start to feel a little nervous?

Don’t. While we can’t help you with all the home-related tasks (but remember to grab cranberry sauce on your next grocery run—there, you’re welcome), we’ve definitely got you covered at the church office with these materials:

• Our fully updated top 15 year-end tasks your church needs to master (nearly every single one has a tax- or tax law-related implication—don’t overlook this valuable checklist);
• Our downloadable charitable contributions bulletin inserts, which offers helpful instructions and reminders to donors (Advantage Members get these free when they log in to the store), and our downloadable resource on best practices for receiving charitable contributions;
• Our 2020 Church & Clergy Tax Guide (preorders are now underway) and our Church Compensation book, which offer help with housing allowances, payroll, tax forms, and more.

These next six weeks will fly by. Don’t let stress levels soar—use this information to give you confidence and peace of mind.

Also this week:

• Free Q&A: Should church policies and procedures be separate documents? An experienced church business manager weighs in.
• FREE: Two articles on weather-related concerns, now that snow, ice, and cold are hitting the country: guidelines for cancelling events and considerations for closing church offices.
• Get valuable help handling benevolence requests through our downloadable resource.

The Lord bless you and keep you,
