Half Way? Already?

Here's how... and a brief explanation of the terms Gary used last night:

Leadership Gifts - These are the pledges that have already been gathered from the campaign committee members, session, and others in order to “jump start” the campaign. Think of them like you might a lead-off batter. A lead-off batter isn’t someone who typically hits home-runs. They are people with the capability of getting the game started off on a good foot. Their job is to get the team on base, into scoring position. This, with God’s grace and our prayers, has already been accomplished.

Victory Gifts – These are the pledges, to continue the base-ball analogy, that bring us home. These are the many pledges and gifts that help us finally round that last base and realize our goal. (Have I lapsed into soccer?) The season opener, if you will, was last night. So be ready and welcoming when we visit your home to share this church’s dream with you and ask for your generous help.

Our Goal:  $350,000
Already Pledged:  $182,700
