Office A/C Is Dying—Please Consider a Special Gift: The air conditioner that cools ½ of the church office is not keeping up and will soon need to be replaced. We are waiting for a quote from our HVAC Contractor but anticipate the cost for this 10 Ton unit to be around $15,000.

Would you be in a more favorable tax position if you make an IRA gift to Prince of Peace? More members over 70½ have chosen to make a donation to Prince of Peace through their traditional IRA. Directing all or part of your RMD to the church is a Qualified Charitable Donation (QCD) that can benefit Prince of Peace without those dollars being included in your taxable income.
