Dear Fellow Congregants,

       It has officially been a week since we voted 90% in favor to launch a capital campaign of 2.2 million dollars! This was an incredibly historic moment. If you were in the service today, you got to experience the dedication of our amazing capital campaign team members. They are listed below for those of you who were not able to attend church today.

• Jess Woods and Karen Murray – Co Chairs
• Jim Bonvouloir, Ellen Fisher, Harry Purkhiser, Kim Steele, and David Price – Gifts
• Amanda Banner, Kenna McLeod, Tiffany Holmes and Brian Herring – Marketing and Communications
• Allyson Jutras, Donna LaRue, Joyce Trudel – Events Coordinators
• Matt Girouard – Administrative Support

These incredible people are taking on the task and leading us through this with the help of Allison, Ericka, and Sadie! Additionally, we will be working with Capital Campaign Consultant, Mark Ewart, from Stewardship for Us Consulting.

I cannot thank you all enough for your trust, hard work, and dedication towards this church. During the service, Rev. Allison asked us to give words of affirmation to those who are leading us in this campaign. She asked us what we thought they would want to hear and feel as they move forward. I will include a sampling of those below because I feel they are important for us to remember as we go through this process together.

“love persistence grace humor honesty cooperation joy excitement hope compassion humanity support courage bravery strength love love LOVE!”

Thank you to all who spoke and shared opinions. You are the heart of this congregation, and I am so thankful for you all. Now the work begins.

In Faith,

Brenna Woods
Board President
