Disciple Bible Study
DISCIPLE BIBLE STUDY

Studying the Bible is essential to becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ. This study is ideal for busy people who want to fit a comprehensive Bible study into their schedule. Classes cover the entire Bible—from Genesis to Revelation.

Groups meet for 24 weeks, broken down into three sessions, with 3-5 chapters of the Bible to read daily. Weekly sessions last 75 minutes. Video hosts provide approximately 5-minute video insights related to the week's session.

Weekly sessions last 75 minutes. Tuesday evenings 7 -8:30 pm. If the group is agreeable, some sessions may be done remotely. If you have questions, please get in touch with Peter at (603) 568-3997 or Peter.Hey.WUMC@gmail.com.


New Testament II

7 pm Tuesday, April 14th - Tuesday, May 26, 2026


Qualified Charitable Distribution
QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION

Did you know you are taxed three times on your RMD (required minimum distribution) from the IRA?

First, in your regular federal tax, then as a part of the calculation to determine the portion of your social security benefits subject to tax, and finally, in your state tax return. You can avoid this triple taxation on the portion withdrawn as a QCD (qualified charitable distribution).

The institution holding your IRA will have all the necessary paperwork to help you make QCDs. This may also keep you from moving into a higher tax bracket. I use QCDs for most of our charitable contributions, including our quarterly church pledge payments, allowing us to contribute more than we could otherwise pay.
