We praise God for the generous giving of our fellowship during 2025!

HSC’s constitutional requirement in Article XI: Finances: Section J states “If giving exceeds actual expenditures by 5% or more of the total annual budget, use of excess funds must be approved by Members’ vote…”  Praise God this Article may need to be utilized for 2025’s worshipful giving!

The Elders desire to be wise stewards of the resources that God has given.  We are also aware that with the changes to tax law which somewhat restrict the 2026 deductibility of itemized charitable contributions for certain taxpayers, that many financial and tax advisors are recommending their high earner clients accelerate their giving and “pre-give” in 2025 gifts that would normally have been given in 2026.

While we are not providing tax or financial advice nor advocating this tax strategy, if you decide of your own free will, to “pre-gift” funds to Harbour Shores that you would otherwise have gifted in 2026, would you please discretely let an Elder, Finance Committee member, or Rebecca Radcliff know so that the Elders and Finance Committee can take these amounts into account as we wisely steward Harbour Shores’ finances? Thank you.
