SERVING AS A CHURCH…
Continuing on with the whole theme of serving as a body…here’s another group of guys that are donating their time in helping out the body at our church. Introducing the Tax Ministry:
Vision (purpose):
The vision of this ministry comes from 1 Peter 4:10, where Paul encourages Christians to live for God by “faithfully administering God’s grace to others through the gifts that he has given us.” With our church continually growing in both number and needs, we want to utilize any and every resource with which God has blessed our church to minister to others. The tax ministry has three main foci: (1) ministering to the local church and body, (2) creating an avenue to invite/introduce non-Christians to build deeper relationships with Christians, and (3) to produce workers that will always see ministry as the priority in whatever profession they are called to.
Payment:
We understand that when we prepare taxes for free, we are saving people at least $50-$100, and for others even $200-$300. As a part of running this ministry, we also incur a fair amount of costs. If the Lord leads, we ask that you would donate a part of the money you will save to this ministry. All proceeds will go to CFC, the ministries in which they support, and will also cover minimal administrative costs that keep the ministry running. If you want to make a donation, please write a check out to CFC. It can be dropped off when picking up your tax return. In the past, some people have given personal gifts to those who helped, but we would rather have you donate money to the ministry so that it can be utilized for a greater purpose.
Commitment:
We understand that money issues are a private matter. The people that will be preparing your taxes will either be those who graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or accountants who have up to 4 years of experience working in public firms. Our preparers have dealt with numerous varieties of issues and most likely will not find many complications with the returns. But for issues that are uncommon or unusual, we refer to copies of the tax law on which we objectively base our decisions/judgment. You can then choose to sign and send the return or go elsewhere for further professional advice. All returns will go through a review process by a tax professional. We also adhere to a STRICT CONFIDENTIALITY POLICY in which nothing will be discussed inside or outside of the preparation room unless it is ABSOLUTLEY necessary for the benefit of the taxpayer.
Interested? Your next steps:
If you will allow us to serve you through this ministry, please email us at taxministry@gmail.com. We will send you an attached document to fill out your basic information – please print that out, and attach it to the documents that you hand in. You can hand your tax documents to Dae Woung Kang, Matt Garard, Jeremy Chen, Eddie Lee, Caroline Yun, Dan Lo, Mimi Kwak, or Jean Park. Please keep in mind that everything is done on a first-come-first-serve basis. We will also have a cutoff date for handing in your documents in response to the many people who turn in their information on April 14th. When your return is completed, we will call you to pick it up at a location to be determined. In the event that you want a personal copy for your records, please bring a CD, disk, or a flash drive on which they can be copied. Again, you can drop off your donations when you pick up your return. Please make out all checks to CFC.

RANDOM…
On a lighter note, here’s what you will commonly see when you walk into our apartment.
“Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long.” Psalm 119:97
)Hello. Did you need something?
)Uhhh, yeah?! I was wondering when you were going to stop hogging that computer so other people can use it also?!?
) OMG. I’m soooooo sorry. I thought that computer was owned by Starbucks and was for publics to use!
Rather than just posting the photos from Praise Night, I thought I’d add a twist to it. Inspired by one of the praise night skits, I will call this entry:
