My dear brothers and sisters,
The work is almost complete! We are putting the final small projects and tying up the loose ends of the work. Later in the fall, we will work on the parking lot. One thing is clear: everyone has worked very hard and we have accomplished great and beautiful things! Now, we must refocus on the work of paying off our debt while we enjoy the fruits of our labors!
As of today, September 1, 2017 we have paid $17,000.00 on the debt since June 1, 2017! We have fully funded our payment reserve account and are recieving regular support in the debt reduction envelopes! Our goal of paying off our $400,000.00 note in five years is only possible if we all continuously put into the debt reduction envelope. As a parish we have commited to give just over $7500.00 a month toward the debt reduction. Over the summer, we have seen a drop in this giving; however, I believe that as we move into the fall, we will see our debt reduction giving increase. As I look where we started three years ago and where we are, I am astounded about the support and love given to renewing our campus and our hearts.
As your pastor, I am humbled for your sacrifice and trust that you have placed in me and I am proud of our response to the Renewing our Campus: Renewing our Hearts Campaign. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the office and we will answer your questions!
Peace,
Rev. Arthur Nave, Jr.
