We have enjoyed the dedication and involvement that the consultant has shown in his development of the plan for our fund raising at Trinity. He has worked tirelessly to set a plan for us to follow and see it to where we are at present. He has been involved in a men’s bible study which he has input his great knowledge of the bible. I am sure in his effort to understand the congregation that he has been involved in other groups too. This is my third campaign at Trinity and he is the first that I am aware of to be visible all the time and he has become a friend that we like to give a hard time, but he remains focused on the goal. He has made an effort to remember all the names of the people he meets at the services and other gatherings. The Lord has definitely inspired his work of which he constantly gives credit to his successes.
Thank you to the consultant and may GOD bless your group.

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.
