I want you to know how blessed we are at St. Timothy’s to have your consultant working with us on our ‘Faith Shaping Our Future’ campaign. From the moment he came here he has been one of us, attending functions, worship services, & a kind person to talk to. He makes everyone feel as if he’s known you for years & is willing to give a helping hand to whoever may need him. From very early on you could tell that he has a deep love for our Lord Jesus Christ & feels called to serve Him by helping churches in their campaigns to further reach out to the community. We’ve learned that when you serve God He will open your heart up to experience His love through other people in ways you never imagined. The consultant’s time & commitment to helping us at St. Timothy’s as well as those we serve have a deeper & more profound relationship with our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ is something that hasn’t gone unnoticed by this Christian!

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.
