We celebrated with cake and pie the ending of the Capital Campaign last Sunday! We missed the consultant terribly! We know it was a lot of work for a lot of people…but the consultant made it happen! It was his energy that got it and us off the ground! He made such an impact on our congregation…we hope he will come to visit when he is able. There’s a hole in our staff with him gone.

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.
