Youth & Parent Night! August 16, 5—8 p.m.

$2 dona�on for supper.

Childcare provided.

As we near completion of the building renovation, the

repayment process becomes dependent on your faithful

support of the capital campaign.

We will be making quarterly payments of almost $19,000.

The bank has set the repayment schedule based on the

pledged amounts on the books. Our next payment will be

due on September 15.

Thank you for all the support that has come from many

members and friends of the church. At this point we ask

that you continue your support of the building renovation.

Any gift, whether pledged or not, helps to maintain the

financial health of the church.

If you customarily contribute monthly, that’s great. If you

have made yearly gifts, that’s fine, too. We thank you for

any part you have had in this project.

If you have not yet made any payment on your pledge,

please consider doing so. Your finance ministry hopes to

build and maintain a “cushion” of one quarterly payment

in order to cover seasonal dips in contribution level. Your

help toward doing this will be appreciated.

Let’s rejoice that we are nearing the end of building reno-

vation. Let us rejoice as we thank God for the blessings

we have received!
