Refocusing Building Fund Offering

Beginning in July, you will notice a change in the Sunday announcement for our Building Fund offering. Each month, we dedicate one collection to honor our commitment to care for and maintain our campus for the future of liberal religion in our community. The Board voted to shift our focus for this offering from making extra mortgage payments to building up our dedicated cash maintenance reserve. Our Main Sanctuary dates from 1995, and we know we must plan for major maintenance outlays. We have a favorable mortgage rate, but we need to increase our dedicated maintenance reserve to enable us to fund anticipated and essential maintenance. When the time comes for major expenditures, we want to be prepared. As good stewards, we commit to renewing and maintaining our beautiful campus.
