The Loaves and Fishes Society
The Special Gifts and Endowment Committee is pleased to announce the establishment of the Loaves and Fishes Society, the bequest program at Claremont Presbyterian Church.
For the past several years, the Committee has worked to make this program a reality. The Loaves and Fishes Society draws its inspiration from John 6:9, the multiplication of individual gifts to sustain multitudes.
A brochure explaining the mission of the Society is being mailed each February to CPC members and friends. The brochure provides general information on estate planning and the importance of including CPC in your plans. It also describes the differences between bequest gifts, which serve long-range needs, and our annual pledges, which support the daily operating budget of the Church.
If you did not receive your copy of the brochure, please pick one up in the Church office. It is intended to be a ready reference and guide for your future use.
Please contact any member of the Committee if you have questions or would like additional information.

Stock Donations Giving of our time, talents, and treasures is essential to the life of CPC. There are so many ways to give by voluteering to teach Sunday School, singing in the choir, working in our local missions, or simply being there to lend a hand when the sanctuary gets decorated. Pledging part of your income also helps to staff the church, fund the church programs, and allows CPC to contribute to the many missions of the PC USA around the world.
Sometimes contributing appreciated assets like stocks and bonds to the CPC is a more practical means of giving rather than cash. Stocks and Bonds contributed to CPC's account get sold immediately on the day of the transfer and the money is made available to the church as soon as the transaction is complete. At the link below is a sample document to initiate a stock transfer to CPC. Once the documet is filled in with the number of shares and date of transfer it should be sent to the broker who is holding the shares:
Call the CPC Sewardship Chair if you have questions regarding this type of giving.
