Today\, we want to share an exciting update o n our A/V Upgrade Campaign—and celebrate the remarkable progress we have made together.\nFirst\, we want to say a massive thank you for your overw helming response to our $5\,000 July Matching Fund Challenge. Thanks to yo ur exceptional generosity\, we met the challenge head-on. We will absolute ly be able to maximize that generous gift\, effectively doubling the impac t of your contributions during this critical stretch.\nHere is where we st and on our ultimate $63\,000 goal:\n\nPrevious Benchmark: As of Sunday\, J uly 12\, our records showed that $47\,635 had been received.\nCurrent Stat us: With the recent influx of gifts from the July challenge (which are cur rently being processed and uncounted in that previous total)\, we are cert ainly within sight of our goal.\nThe Timeline: The new A/V equipment has n ow been installed\, and we expect to begin using it to enhance our worship services as soon as August 2.\n\nBecause the equipment is now in place an d ready to serve our church community\, our final payment for the installa tion is now due.\nThus far\, 35 members and member families have stepped u p 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 f ront of us\, it is time for the rest of our church family to lock hands\, step forward\, and bring this project home.\nIf you have not yet had the o pportunity 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.
