I just wanted to put in a good word for your consultant. I have been working on the campaign since it started and have enjoyed his input and leadership. He has always been positive, easy to work with, and professional. It seems he is ready and around 24/7. I have been able to get to know him personally by shooting skeet with him and having a few lunches. By now he is probably getting a little tired of all the barbecue joints but still seems happy! I am sure when the campaign is a success it will be in large part due to him.

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.
