This was not just a capital stewardship campaign, but a prayerfully considered stewardship process which has enriched the fabric of our parish. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for all the work James D. Klote & Associates has done for St. Alban’s. From the beginning, many people questioned whether our capital campaign, “Strengthening Our Ministries……Sharing God’s Vision” could be done. Now many others are asking how we did it. The counsel we received from your firm was exceptional. We thank God for the $1 million raised and for the fellowship and good will that has evolved.
On a personal note, I want to congratulate you on your consultant. He was a dedicated co-worker and team player who became a confidant and friend while exhibiting professionalism and keeping us focused on the important work God has called us to do. We will always consider him part of the St. Alban’s family.
I look forward to working with you and your staff in the future and will always be proud of our accomplishments at St. Alban’s.

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.
