 Dear Church Family,

As we walk through this summer season together, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible ways God is moving through our congregation. Today, we want to share an exciting update on our A/V Upgrade Campaign—and celebrate the remarkable progress we have made together.

First, we want to say a massive thank you for your overwhelming response to our $5,000 July Matching Fund Challenge. Thanks to your exceptional generosity, we met the challenge head-on. We will absolutely be able to maximize that generous gift, effectively doubling the impact of your contributions during this critical stretch.

Here is where we stand on our ultimate $63,000 goal:

  • Previous Benchmark: As of Sunday, July 12, our records showed that $47,635 had been received.
  • Current Status: With the recent influx of gifts from the July challenge (which are currently being processed and uncounted in that previous total), we are certainly within sight of our goal.
  • The Timeline: The new A/V equipment has now been installed, and we expect to begin using it to enhance our worship services as soon as August 2.

Because the equipment is now in place and ready to serve our church community, our final payment for the installation is now due.

Thus far, 35 members and member families have stepped up to donate and turn this vision into a reality. We are so deeply thankful for your leadership and sacrifice. Now that the finish line is right in front of us, it is time for the rest of our church family to lock hands, step forward, and bring this project home.

If you have not yet had the opportunity to contribute to the A/V upgrade, or if you feel led to give a final gift to help us close the remaining gap, you can do so by dropping a check in the offering plate designated for the "A/V Fund" or by giving through our online portal. (See the link below)

Thank you for your continued prayers, your faithfulness, and your shared commitment to making our worship experience accessible and vibrant for everyone.

Blessings,

Your A/V Fund Committee
