This is just a brief note to say how impressed we have been with the consultant from your company. He has been a very diligent worker and very pleasant to get along with. We had the pleasure of having him and our pastor, Carl Peters, visit in our home. I just want to express my appreciation for all the work the consultant did for us in his time here. He put in many hours and what we have accomplished to this point I’m sure could not have been done if we had tried to do this on our own. So thanks to the consultants for their time with us.

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.
