		Raise Money While Grocery Shopping!
		Help raise money for the Hinton Avenue United Methodist Church Building Fund Sounds simple and it is - just buy groceries at Food Lion, Giant, and Kroger. It will not cost you a thing and all you have to do is remember to use your cards and HAUMC makes money. If you are going to spend money at one of these grocery stores anyway, why not use one of the cards and benefit your church.

Remember The Church In Your Estate Planning
If you wish to leave a bequest in your will, instruct your attorney or use language similar to this:
"I give and bequeath to Hinton Avenue United Methodist Church in the City of Charlottesville, Virginia [the sum of $__________ dollars], or [____% of my estate], or [the following stocks and/or bonds or real estate: list]."
Bequests can be made for general use by including the phrase "for its corporate/general purposes". Bequests can also be made for a specific purpose, such as "for the Children's Church, the Youth Group, the Choir, the Pastor's Discretionary Fund, or the Building Fund". If you have questions about specific needs, you should speak either to the Pastor or to Fred Schneider, Chair of the Administrative Board at 293-2065 or redbox@charlottesville.net.

Already Made a Will?
If you have already made your will and now want to make a change or add something to it, you do not need to redraft the entire document.You can amend or supplement your existing will by instructing your attorney to draft a "codicil."A codicil must be signed using the same "formalities" as a will. Your attorney will ensure that the necessary formalities are followed.
