The Capital Campaign now stands at $788,314.00.  The goal of reaching one million dollars is in sight. However it will require a concerted effort by every Pastoral Charge if we are to reach the goal.

Congregations are urged to continue the effort this fall and winter to financially support and promote the camp.
