Supporting Our Ministry

Composing Your Legacy
Planned Giving Opportunities

Worshiping God through music, sermons, prayers and daily deeds has been a vital part of the Pebble Hill Church community for many years.  Through our worship, teaching, and service to others we rejoice, give thanks and celebrate the blessings God has provided.  The melodies of our lives and the poetry of our souls are nourished and enriched by God at work here in this place.
​
You can help assure this tradition continues by “composing your legacy” of faithful stewardship and planned giving through the writing of your will.  A well thought-out will continues your stewardship of what God has given you on into the future, so we urge that you consult with your attorney on this important first step.

Options include:
  • General Bequest   This is the simplest form of bequest by which your will designates a specific amount, or a percentage of your estate, to the Church without any conditions attached.
  • Designated Bequest  This provides a sum of money for a specific project or ministry of the church.
  • Residual Bequest  A residual bequest leaves the remainder of your estate to the church after taking care of all debts, taxes, expenses and other legacies.
  • Contingent Bequest    A clause in your will provides for your estate to benefit the church if your beneficiaries do not survive you.
  • Life Income Plans    Life income plans are a way for you to continue to receive income from your investments and provide a future benefit to the Church.  Pebble Hill uses the service of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Foundation to explain the benefits and investment opportunities of these plans.

The Memorial Fund

The lives and talents of loved ones, both living and deceased, may be honored and remembered by gifts to the Memorial Fund.  Gifts of any size are welcome.  This fund is also the repository of gifts to the church in lieu of flowers.  Both principal and income of the Memorial Fund may be utilized for the mission and ministry of Pebble Hill Church.

The Endowment Fund

Gifts and bequests to the Endowment Fund are a way to make a major gift to the life and ministry of Pebble Hill Church that will go beyond one’s lifetime.  Principal of the Endowment Fund will be invested in accordance with the Church’s policies.  Income will be used as determined by the Memorial Gifts and Endowment Committee.

The
Memorial Gifts and Endowment Team administers the Memorial and Endowment Funds and other Special Funds of the Church.  The team consists of three persons elected by the congregation and two representatives from the Session.

Memory Garden
Grief, Life, Remembrance

The purpose of the Pebble Hill Memory Garden is to provide a designated portion of the church property as a planned garden of beauty and dignity, for meditation and the use by church members and their families for the disposition of cremated remains of loved ones.


Symbolic elements abound in this garden. The path itself is suggestive of a stream both in form and materiality, evoking associations with life-giving water. Rocks are some of the ultimate symbols of eternal strength, and their changing form throughout the garden tell a subtle narrative. The circular shapes in the room speak of cycles, perfection and completion. This sunken circular room is enveloped by the earth, a means to be mindful of those who have been remembered there.
