The consultant has done a very, very faithful and professional job here at Redeemer. As One who has run three “Campaigns” over the years: In Monterrey, Mexico; Boston, Mass.; and then most recently in Venice before we moved up to Sarasota, I too know how challenging-demanding-frustrating-and thankfully often rewarding they will always be!
The consultant has done extremely well in what has not been an easy task here in Sarasota. May God ever bless him and his family. I salute 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.
