So anybody getting a large tax retun?  Wouldn't it be great to carve out some for the church?

I am just saying....

What would be your biggest dream for St. Thomas' in the years to come? Share your hopes for the kingdom in this place.

Hello all - we've heard from a couple people how once their checks came in they gave to the stimulus initiative and then something came up a day later which they knew they would have spent the money on.  Conversely, others have confided that they sat on the checks and the money was whittled away with other expensis.

Susannah Haddad designed and installed a fantastic bullentin board for the Stimulus Initiative.  Please note the "SI" envelopes decorated by Ellie and Ada Rigsby and Erica Cummings.  Please also use those envelopes to drop your overly generous SI checks into the offetory plate. 

The bulletin board has a pen attached to it - with ample space to write encouraging notes, to opine on any subject or to rant on the silliness of this program.  Please do so with abandon...

Cheers,

I do our taxes with one of the tax software programs and its company sent me an e-mail informing me that my stimulus package check was not coming this week even though i had my refund direct deposited.  The reason cited was because I opted to have the tax preperation fees deducted from my direct deposit.  So because i have a large number for the last two digits of my social security number my check will not be coming till July.  No matter - that will just mean my stimulus package check takes us over the $20K mark! Hooray for me...

This is sort of a self-reflexive post that has little to do with encoraging you to get insane and give big from your stimulus check. if you google "stimulus initiative"...well go check it out.

...oh, and if you get your check this week. Give! Give! Give!!!!

Cheers,

Instead of trying to rehash all of this information, if you are interested in the timing for recieving your stimulus package check read this great article by Andrea Coombes from Marketwatch here.

Happy Easter to one and all...

You have probably gotten the letter from the IRS (always a little scary for just a moment, eh?) confirming the stimulus package check and details on the amounts being sent.  Of course, you knew all this info because you are an avid reader of this blog.  

Breaking news! According to those in the know, a parishoner has gotten a jump on their stimulus package check and already given $300 to the church.
