We are nearing completion of the Capital Campaign that started in January of 2015. In that time, we have completed many significant projects around the Church property; replacement of the parking lots along with new lighting, new flooring and ceiling tiles within the Narthex and in Grace center, new choir robes, bathroom renovations, just to name a few. You may recall that the projects were prioritized into three groups, we have completed all of the group A projects and are on target to complete all of the group B’s as well. The committee is looking at the group C projects to complete the campaign.
As of this moment we have $497,556 committed against the goal of $780,430 of which about $509,524 has been received. This also represents approximately $50,952 that has been set aside for the tithe to be given to the Synod at the completion of the campaign. Some gifts to the campaign will be completed at the end of this year while a few will continue into the spring.
A celebration event is being planned for April 22nd of next year as a thank you for all that participated in donations of time, talent, and funds as well as making the formal presentation of the tithe to the Synod. Mark your calendars now for this wonderful event!
There is still time to make a donation to the campaign. Just let the Church office know. By answering the call to help we will continue to carry forward this gift of faith and Sharing God’s Grace! Thanks Be To God!
