Social Security SeriesThe Board of Christian Education will be conducting a three-part series on Social Security benefits. All three sessions will be on Sundays in the Heritage Room following the 10:00 a.m. service. The first session, on November 16, will provide an overview of how the system works and address concerns about long-term financing. On November 30, we will discuss retirement benefits and planning. On December 7, the topic will be disability benefits. Ancel Neuburger, who was the manager of the Social Security Office in Topeka until he retired in December 2007, will facilitate this series and provide ample opportunity for questions.
