Making ROOM for God's People
If you could add a room to your home and be assured that the only purpose of that room was to spread the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ so that people would become believers and therefore spend eternity with Him in heaven, would you do that?
Making Room for God’s People “In my Father’s House are many rooms …” John 14:2
|
WELL, YOU CAN! The room is located at 1919 Wyatt Avenue where God’s people are “Centered in the Word, Pointing People to Jesus”. We are asking you to prayerfully consider your essential involvement in the construction of that special room where the love of Jesus will be taught, heard, and spread, not only in Stevens Point, but throughout the world.
In August of this year, 200 children will be attending St Paul Lutheran School. The kindergarteners (many of whom wore symbolic yellow hard hats, turned nuts onto bolts, and wrote their names on the I-beams) will be in YOUR specially constructed room. The school along with the purchase of additional property on our block further characterizes our vision of “Connecting People by Sharing the Love of Jesus”. Our campaign goal of $1.5M is intended to meet the current and future growth of our congregation and school that includes:
- Replenishment of $588K expended to construct temporary, additional classroom space on the east side of the existing school – $125K of which was borrowed from Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF);
- Repayment of $375K expended to purchase the property at 1926 Center St, also borrowed from LCEF establishing a total loan of $500K;
- Accruing $500K for anticipated expansion, possible refurbishment, and/or maintenance for the expected acquisition of the two remaining properties located adjacent to current St. Paul property.
In the months ahead, you will be asked to participate in this Capital Campaign. The Task Force is requesting both your prayers and your generous financial support. Your contribution, as a one-time gift or as a pledge will be appreciated. Please review the accompanying pledge form to review your giving options.
While you consider this special gift, please remember that this Capital Campaign should be considered sacrificial giving ABOVE and BEYOND regular offerings which are needed to support the ongoing operations of our church and school. Please do not redirect your regular offerings to this campaign. We are looking forward to talking with you soon.
In His Service,
Capital Campaign Task Force
