The Reverend Dr. John Doe
Synod of the XYZ XXXX
I’m here to introduce you to participation in the Retirement Savings Plan (RSP) through the Board of Pensions, as members in the Benefits Plan of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
I’m pleased to be here and to have the opportunity to provide these benefits to First Presbyterian Church.

3. About the Board of Pensions
Who are we? The Board of Pensions is a non-profit agency of the Presbyterian Church. We are dedicated to exclusively serving the benefit needs of Presbyterian church workers and affiliated employees – like all of you.
We trace our history to 1717 when the first benefit, a fund for widows and children of Presbyterian ministers, was created by the Presbytery of Philadelphia. We’re still based in Philadelphia today, but now – 300 years later - we serve the entire country!
We’d like you to think of the Board of Pensions , of us here, and the staff back in Philadelphia, as YOUR ADVOCATES – helping you to get the most out of your benefits.
It is our MISSION, our MINISTRY to serve you and others who work for the Church.
And if for ANY reason there is ever a problem, we are all here to make it right. We are accountable to YOU.
The Board delivers benefits through relationships with LEADING partners. Each of these organizations was especially chosen and plays a role. We administer the Retirement Savings Plan through Fidelity Investments, the record keeper.
We have a LOTS of ground to cover, so let’s get started.

7. The Power of Compounding
No contribution is too small
Consider the power of compounding
Example: Save $10 per week ($520 per year)
Year
Total Saved
Return
Balance 1
$520
$18.94
$538.94 5
$2,600
$513.49
$3,113.49 10
$5,200
$2,327.29
$7,527.29 15
$7,800
$5,984.43
$13,784.43 20
$10,400
$12,254.54
$22,654.54
No contribution is too small
If you invest $10 per week ($520 per year) at a 7% rate of return, after 5 years your RSP account could be more than $3,100 including investment returns
After 10 years $7,500+, and after 20 years, almost $23,000.
Gradually increasing contributions by a few dollars per week, per year, can result in sizable retirement savings over time
The power of compounding is one of the most basic, yet most powerful concepts behind investing in the RSP. 7
