I wanted to write a brief note to thank you for the work of James D. Klote & Associates and specifically the consultation and leadership of Glendon Smith. We are going into our third week of our “Rooted and Reaching” Capital Project Campaign with a goal of $3M to help us grow in our benevolence and ministry support, endowment sustainability, replacement of steeple, renovation of organ, repaving of parking lot and sidewalks, and other facility upgrades and improvements.
Glendon’s physical presence with us during this process has been of great value. I have not only enjoyed the company he provides but the partnership in ministry. I very much consider the campaign process and involvement to be a true ministry for the church. Glendon has been attentive and open in conversation, given sound advice when asked and warranted, and taken the bull by the horns to keep us on track as well.
It still feels early in the process but we do believe the momentum is building and the “Proven Path” developing right along.
Thank you again and I do hope to have the pleasure to meet you if you are able to pay a visit at some point in the next few months. Blessings to you and all of yours.
