Just a quick word to say that all I hear is praise for the consultant and all I have is praise as well. He is a blessing to us and we are engaged in a magnificent time of challenge and development.
I think that among many other things, our campaign is helping us to begin operating as a program size church, a great launch.
Thanks for all you do and for being our partner in ministry. I never thought I would think of “fund raising” as fun but it is.

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.
