Celebrating Black History at Photos by Larry Regier
Christian City During February
We celebrated the history and contributions of African Americans
with movies, field trips to support a black-owned restaurant, music
and a book discussion during the month of February.

Legacy Providers
What are Legacy Providers?
Legacy Providers are among the dearest and most treasured supporters of Christian City. Not only have these
individuals faithfully supported our ministry through their financial gifts, large or small, but they have also ensured
that support for Christian City extends beyond their physical lives!
Legacy providers are people who let us know that they have included a gift to Christian City in their wills or as
part of their estate plans. How much they leave may be a prescribed amount or a remainder after they have
provided for family members. Their gifts may be large or small, but the love they show is always powerful.
It is our pleasure and honor to recognize Legacy Providers in our annual donor listing – at the very top of the list.
You can always find this list on our website at www.christiancity.org/give, and click “Our Supporters.”
As their support extends after they are gone, so Christian City’s recognition extends in perpetuity. What a
privilege for us to do so.
If you have an interest, I would love to talk with you about possibilities of how you might become a Legacy
Provider. I hope to hear from you soon!
Warmest regards,
LaVann Landrum, Chief Advancement Officer
