I would like to personally thank you for sending your consultant to St Timothy’s in Spring, Texas. He has been a blessing to our congregation and has been a blessing to me personally and has become my friend. He has been beyond wonderful at helping with our Capital Fund Campaign. He is a hard worker and is willing to help with any and all things to get the job complete. His walk as a Christian shows in all that he does. Your company should be proud to have such a wonderful employee. In closing, I want you to know we will miss the consultant and his wonderful personality. He fit right in with our congregation. We have even made him an honorary TEXAN. I personally will miss our conversations and I will miss his friendship. I consider him my brother in Christ.

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.
