I want to let you know how much I enjoyed working with our JDK&A Director on our campaign for the browse and buy in Jackson, Wyoming. From the first time I met him I knew he was the man for the job. He is experienced and therefore I knew from his plan that this was not his first rodeo. He answered all questions and concerns with compassion and a deep caring for our project. In fact he does have a love for our project and would do anything to help us reach our goal. I cannot tell you how at ease I was working with him and in fact he even came to our men’s group meeting on Thursday mornings. Oh, did I mention that we arrive at seven AM!
No doubt that we could not move forward without him. Very special person and will always be blessed by his acquaintance.

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.
