Do you need practical, useful, and not overly technical information about relevant estate planning issues so that you can begin to order your estate or revisit your current plans?

Great news! This fall you will have an opportunity to get this information as part of a six-session MidWeek class in the comfortable setting of our church. The class, entitled "Basics of Personal Finance and Estate Planning," will focus on issues surrounding financial responsibility for today’s Christian family.

The last two sessions, November 7 and 14, are for those planning their family's affairs. Some of the topics that will be covered include: wills, trusts, powers of attorney, the death tax, and estate planning challenges. Local attorneys with expertise in these fields will conduct the sessions.

Laurence Towner is a counselor with Sage Hill Counseling in Memphis and is a fifth generation member of Second. She received support from the Foundation to attend Dallas Theological Seminary, where she received her Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling in 2015.

As a graduate student, she began her practicum and internship work with Windhaven House, a living facility for women struggling with substance abuse and addiction. She later joined their counseling team, which included individual counseling as well as an Intensive Outpatient Program. She became very familiar with the 12 steps of recovery, as well as the freedom that can be found within the binds of addiction.

Hear, in Laurence’s words, about her seminary experience and what it prepared her for.
