This has been a busy and productive year! Since our service of dedication last November, 25 families have pledged over $35,000 toward the $100,000 congregational goal. There have been a number of fundraisers and fun-draisers – a harp concert, chicken BBQ, Holy Heat and Holy Harvest, dinner at Hoss’s, and painting classes – to name a few. In addition, we have applied for funding from the Mission Committee, requested Council designate the proceeds from Lenten dinners, received a portion of the proceeds from the Alternative Giftplace and benefited from the May Special Benevolence offering. As of October 31, the total contributions sent to Penn Central Conference toward our five year goal is (drum roll, please) $18,285 (total of $8,172 pledges paid to date and $10,113 in fundraising, donations, etc.)! We fully expect to make our first year target of $20,000.
Thank you to all of you who have faithfully supported this endeavor.
