The members of St. Timothy’s Anglican Church have enjoyed the months that the consultant shared his life and expertise with us to establish and implement our capital campaign. In fact, he truly became a part of St. Tim’s, and it will be strange to not see him in the halls or sitting in a pew.
He has a special, accepting presence about him. His kind manner won over everyone from the children to the “little old ladies.” His participation in everything taking place in our church was noticed and appreciated. His professionalism as he worked with those of us on the steering committee was consistent, and he worked well with those of us who were lagging behind–prodding but not critical.
Thanks for sending him to Texas. I hope he will remember us with fond thoughts–every time he looks at his hat and boots! He’ll have to come back in February or March to take advantage of those boots when the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo take place.

Carmel Lutheran Church kicked off its ‘Hearts Compelled To Share’ capital campaign in record style. As of January 25th just 73 families of the more than 900 in the church had already committed $3.75 million dollars. That total represents not only the best kickoff to a campaign at CLC, it also represents the best campaign in total even though only 8% of the congregation has pledged so far.
The previous best campaign was just four years ago when CLC collected a total of about $3 million in pledges from over 425 donors.
