worked so hard to establish. We have

A Defining Moment
 
Miraculously, previous campaign leadership built outstanding facilities to serve our needs: a welcoming parish hall, the Narthex, and a welcoming place for community events. With the addition of the 2nd and 3rd floors we created room for future growth. However, building success did not equal financial success as the previous campaign hit a perfect storm -$3 million in committed pledges were not fulfilled, and the real estate, construction and financial services sectors collapsed in the recession. Demolition of old buildings, construction and build-out of new facilities cost $9 million. On a leap of faith we borrowed funds to complete the project. We have renegotiated our $5.4 million in loans and over the last three years reduced staffing and significantly reduced our daily operating budget from $3,800 to $2,500. However, our loan payments bring our daily operating expense to $3,700, representing almost one-quarter of our budget. In two years, our loan payments will increase to 30% of our budget. We cannot shrink operations any further without detracting from our ability to respond to the growing demand for our programs and services.  
 
And, now we need your to help to Fulfill our Promise. Our Campaign leadership will be calling on you for your financial support.

 Thank you!
