Christmas Blessings
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). – Matthew 1:22-23
While this has been a year unlike any other, full of events and challenges we would not have predicted a year ago, we are filled with joy, awe, and thanksgiving as we celebrate the birth of Jesus — Immanuel, God with us.
As we enter this holy Christmas season, may we all take time to pause and reflect on the indescribable gift of God’s unfailing love and the hope and strength that comes from knowing that God is with us through it all.
We look forward to what God will bring in 2021, and to supporting you and your life-changing work throughout the year.
Merry Christmas from all of us at CapinCrouse!

Minister’s Housing Allowance Reminder
The minister’s housing allowance can provide a substantial benefit for ministers. If your organization plans to provide a minister’s housing allowance for ministers in your organization’s employ in 2021, note that you must designate it by an official action before payment.
An appropriate official action is generally a resolution passed by your organization’s governing board designating the amount of the individual’s compensation that is to be a housing allowance. Please contact us with any questions.
