I wanted to share with you our gratitude for the work that the consultant is doing at Christ’s Greenfield Lutheran Church. Not only is he accomplishing the task he was sent out to perform but he is going above and beyond in service to our Lord and Savior.
La Mesa Ministries has been working with a homeless veteran family for several months. The family consisted of the veteran, his daughter and twin 4 year old granddaughters. We had procured an apartment for the family who had been homeless for nearly a year. We reach out to a Christian based non-profit veteran organization and they were able to provide enough furniture for the entire apartment. The problem was they could not deliver it to a second floor apartment. I sent out an urgent request to the CGLC Ironmen group for assistance and the consultant was the first to respond. What a blessing it was to this family to receive a completely furnished apartment after being without a home for so long. Their smiles were priceless. We are so thankful for the consultant’s willingness to help Hope, Happen Here.

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.
