At the Building Consecration service, members brought in symbols of their work: a hammer, metal working tool, plants, the purchase agreement, and baptismal waters.
Dear Restoration,
In just a few short months, our church family achieved something incredible. Thanks to the generosity of people like you, we have reached our $130,000 fundraising goal! Combined with the generosity of our matching gift donor, that’s a total of $230,000.
This is something to celebrate! I am immensely grateful for your sacrificial giving. Thank you for investing in our church home. Thank you for providing the funding needed to remodel and redesign this building to fit our church family and equip us to serve our community. I cannot wait to see how God continues to work in and through us with the blessing of this new building.
While we are celebrating the achievement of this impressive goal and what it has made possible, there is still opportunity to participate in the campaign for those who may yet want to. You may recall that the total cost of the project is $360,000. We’ve planned to cover the remaining $130,000 through a loan and through financial reserves we have been blessed with. Any gifts that come in going forward can put us in a stronger financial position, setting us up to better serve our church body and our neighbors.
Again, thank you for giving! Thank you for helping to prepare our home.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Rick and the Parish Council
