Contributions of Securities

Along with donations and pledges given as part of our Pledge Drive, Weekly Offerings and Special Donations, Norfield can also accept gifts of securities.

These gifts can be transferred directly to Norfield's brokerage account, after which it is the policy of the Trustees that as soon as a security is received, it is sold. The donor receives a charitable contribution deduction for the net amount of the sale. To learn more about contributing securities to Norfield, please contact Norfield's Treasurer and let them know you are interested in transferring securities.

Legacy Giving

As we reflect on the many blessings our church community has received over the years, we would like to take a moment to discuss a meaningful way to ensure our mission and values continue to thrive for generations to come: legacy giving.

Legacy giving, or planned giving, allows individuals to make a lasting impact on our church through their estate plans. This form of giving can take many shapes, including bequests, charitable gift annuities, and other financial instruments. It offers a unique opportunity to support the church while also providing potential tax benefits to the donor’s estate.

By considering a legacy gift, you can help us maintain and enhance our programs, support our outreach initiatives, and ensure our facilities are available for worship and community events. Your contribution will create a lasting legacy, allowing future generations to experience the love, fellowship, and spiritual growth that our church offers.

We understand that legacy giving is a significant decision, and we are here to support you in any way we can. If you have questions or would like to discuss potential options, please contact a member of our Stewardship Team at: stewardship@norfield.org. We can provide resources and connect you with the Senior Minister, Rev. Dr. Bernard R. Wilson (revbrwilson810@outlook.com) to discuss planned giving opportunities at Norfield Church.

Thank you for considering this impactful way to contribute to our church. Together, we can build a strong foundation for the future of our community and continue to spread our message of hope and love.

Stewardship Snippets

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.”  – Matthew 5:14-16

Psalm 100:4 exclaims: “Enter His gates with thanksgiving in your hearts, enter His courts with praise”. The Bible tells us that at one time, there were over 4,000 musicians who served in rotation, providing songs of praise and thanksgiving, from sunrise to sunset. The leader of this worship team was the “Chief Musician.” How blessed is Norfield Congregational Church to have Dr. David H. Connell as our “Chief Musician!”

As the historic Norfield Church bell rings in welcoming congregants to worship, the next notes you will hear are from one of many instruments played so brilliantly by Norfield’s Director of Music and Worship Arts, Dr. David H. Connell. His love for his music is expressed in every chord that is played. This renaissance man also shares his many other talents through sermons, musical programs, gardening, just to name a few! David’s music leadership is a spiritual gift which inspires congregants each week to focus upon the greatness and glory of our Lord.

Did you know that your Stewardship dollars help to fund the music program and its musicians at Norfield? We are forever grateful for your gifts. And THANK YOU for helping to make Norfield Church's several missions possible!
