Dear Member of St. Paul.
Our congregation is in the very beginning stages of launching our new Capital Stewardship Campaign for the purpose of paying down our large loan and focusing on the future of our church. Our Consultant, John Sproul, from Lutheran Church Extension Fund will be here Monday night, July 25th, working with me to design our campaign.
It would be of great value to me personally if you would join me in this process in the evening at 7:30 PM to give input into the design of our campaign and those who would best serve on the Leadership Team for the effort. This group will meet only one time and we will conclude by 8:30. I appreciate the unique perspective that you would bring to this process.
Please contact Jamie in the office at 573-756-5147 or Jamie Montgomery jmestp@yahoo.com by Friday, if possible, or let me know at one of the services the weekend before and let me know if you will be able to attend.
In preparation for the meeting, I’d like you to bring the names of 10-15 people that you might suggest for the Leadership Team of our Capital Stewardship Campaign. We will be building a large Leadership Team to guide the congregation through this process. As you are identifying potential leaders, think about people who possess these qualities:
- Well-respected in our congregation;
- Love the Lord and love our congregation;
- Committed to our church’s future;
- Talented and gifted;
- Faithful in worship, Word, and giving;
Please join me in praying that God will guide our thinking as we design this campaign so that it will be a great blessing to the spiritual lives of the people of our congregation and significantly advance the mission of our church. I would count it a personal blessing if you would offer your insights into this development process on Monday, July 25 at 7:30PM.
Thanks,
Pastor Rick Foss
