Welcome First Time Guest!
Legacy Planning
Every year at Cascade Hills as we are going through our “How to be Blessed Financially” series, we have questions that arise. Some of these questions include:
– How do I tithe off of my business?
– How do I leave a portion of my estate to the Church after my passing?
– How do I start Investing?
If you are someone who asks these same questions, reviewing our Legacy Night recording is a great way to get some clarity. Join our guest speakers for the special presentation above.
“Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure — pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
