Robert's Ramblings

Capital Campaign Rapidly Takes Shape

      Campaign.  That date will mark the culmination of a great deal of planning and energy by a large number of volunteers from the congregation.   It will also mark a major milestone in our plans to renovate the Audelia Road Campus.

      Bill Miller serves as Campaign Executive Director, and Tammy Mackesey is Campaign Director.  They and the following already named and working volunteers were commissioned as the Capital Campaign Steering Committee during worship on August 18:

J. B. Pendergrass, Jr. Hollie McLauchlin Chuck Ramsay Greg Signall Meg Richardson Peggy Signall Missy Rodgers Bertha Klein Suzanna Swanson Herman Sawyer Cinda Koch

Cris Emrich Ginger Williams Richard Klein Jim Salter Pete Puckett Mary Simpson Jan Gifford Martha Boyd Sammye Wood Martin Vernon

      These persons fill major campaign-long positions.  Additional volunteers will be needed to fill focused, short-term positions.  The key to a successful campaign is every member and friend of the congregation doing his or her part to make our dream come true.

      I ask for your cooperation in the following:

1. Remember, one family has already contributed funds to pay the consultant' s fee in full.  That's a $26,000 gift before the campaign was announced
2. Be willing to undertake special tasks as you are asked;  being asked means that your fellow members believe you have the gifts and skills to do the job
3. Pray daily for your church, for the campaign and for those who lead us, that we may be true to our mission: Jesus told us, "Go.and Make Disciples."
