People of God, these are interesting times to be in ministry. As you master many new skills and carry concerns about your people, your church’s finances, and your own family, please know that Portico is here to walk with you. Portico plan members, sign in to myPortico for these timely resources:  

A new hub on myPortico details financial and health resources specifically related to COVID-19, including:

• updates on how the CARES Act can provide financial relief for congregations

• telemedicine and emotional health support options for ELCA-Primary and ELCA Medicare-Primary plan members

• answers about managing or adjusting flexible spending accounts

• financial resources from the ELCA Retirement Plan Recordkeeping Services Provider, Fidelity

This 16-minute video (filmed March 26) offers:

• perspective on the investment markets and how we navigate volatility

• ways to remain emotionally grounded as retirement account balances fluctuate

• resources Portico offers to help you through these uncertain times

Unfortunately, due to the evolving impact of COVID-19, we have made the decision to suspend our in-person educational events, including the Planning for Retirement Seminars in Oregon on June 18th and in California on July 30th. Videos of past webinars are available on myPortico, or ELCA Retirement Plan members are encouraged to call a Portico Financial Planner at 800.922.4896.
