Bridge to the Future: An Update

On Sunday May 4th many of you joined your gifts with those already committed by the church leadership in support of our capital funds drive, “Bridge to the Future.” As a result of all your efforts, we have received cash and commitments totaling some $640,000 as of the date this was written, May 12.

I want to thank all who have responded so graciously. I realize that it was a difficult time in which to ask for significant extra giving. Still, in spite of that, many of you have stepped forward and because of your efforts, we are in shouting distance of paying off the smaller of our two notes.

Several of you have indicated that you will be able to make commitments later when some things become clearer. I understand that and look forward to your commitment.

We are keeping the campaign open and invite you to consider it as a possibility when making gifts in honor or in memory of friends and loved ones. The United Methodist Women recently made such a gift.

I also urge those of you who have not yet committed yourselves to let us know what you might be able to do in this important campaign.

Again, thank you for all you have done and for all you will do.
