St. Andrew United Methodist Church is preparing to launch the “Going The Distance” capital campaign. Three generous congregants have already committed $600,000 toward the $3.6 million goal.
The “Going the Distance” campaign offers each of us the opportunity to continue the journey of funding our wonderful facility that serves as a base for our many and varied ministries.
You will hear much more about the “Going The Distance” campaign throughout the spring.
A caring church community needs the gifts of its members and constituents in order to flourish. On seven Sundays in January and February, Harvey Martz, Cindy Bates and Dale Fredrickson will be preaching on, and asking the St. Andrew community to discern, the best ways to identify our gifts skills and passions, and to invite each other to connect our gifts to service. Your gift of yourself is essential to the life and mission of St. Andrew church! Gifts must be discerned, affirmed, and shared and used in service to others. Thus the community becomes what it professes to be—a people noted for their love, generosity, and cooperation. Through this process you will deepen your relationship with God.
