Capital Campaign

On Sunday, July 20, the vestry of St. Mark’s announced a five year capital campaign to raise money toward the principal on the Rafters mortgage.

Your weekly update on the status of our pledges:

The General Fund 2027 - This pledge is important because it forms the basis for our annual budget, and represents the funds available for our services, ministries, buildings and grounds, administration, and outreach. At this time, our pledge balance is as follows:

39 pledges totaling $161,480.00

Capital Campaign Fund - This is a 5-year campaign dedicated to paying on the principal of our Rafters mortgage. This fund is important as the capital campaign account is one of the key components of our successful renegotiation of the mortgage in the coming year - it demonstrates our commitment and ability to pay back the borrowed amount. At this time, our pledge balance is as follows:

37 pledged totaling $202,606.00 of which we have currently received $65,245.00

Lions Lamb is DESPERATE for folks to knit or crochet Critters!

We only have ONE left.

Lions Lamb sends soft comforting critters to children who survive school shootings.

Today a package was sent to young Saylor Graham, the 7 yo who survived the school shooting last week in Bend Oregon. Saylor is a small-framed child, so I opted to send her a pretty baby blanket.

Please....if you knit or crochet, or know someone who does, we really need critters.

Patterns are available on line, and hobby stores sell kits.  

Please let me know if you or anyone you know can help.
