I am a member of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I wanted to take a moment and comment on your associate who has been assisting us with our capital program for the expansion of our Browse & Buy building and associated operations.
He has been a joy to get to know and is doing such a wonderful job assisting our Clergy staff, Vestry, and Church family. He is fully engaged in the work of organizing and communicating to all, the details of our latest expansion. My wife, Robbi Farrow, and I see him and worship with him every Sunday morning at the 8 am service. I also am a member of our Thursday morning “Men’s Breakfast” group that meets each week at 7:30 am. Glendon has become a regular member of our group and adds so much to the organized discussions we share in. Robbi and I have attended his Q&A sessions on the Browse & Buy upgrade plan and budget where he engages all to share their questions and views on this new project.
We look forward to his continued time with us as we enter the next phase of our program. Thank you for sharing him and his warm positive being with us for a while! I hope you are able to come visit us here at St. John’s at some point. We would love to meet you. our consultant has shared a lot about JD Klote and the work you all do. After hearing about your organization, I read “Development, Back to Basics” to learn more.

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.
