BUILDING GOD’S HOUSE IN OUR TIME

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE

 

Please keep in your prayers all who participated in the Zoning Board meetings since last July.   All the testimony is in and we await the decision of the Board on December 15th meeting. We thank all who participated and helped us present expert testimony. We stand most grateful the Upper Providence Zoning Board members for their patience, perseverance and wisdom. We need God’s continued grace and guidance and we pray for a spirit of cooperation and respect. Let us seek God’s will in our investigation to Build God’s House in our Time for the good of the entire parish family and community. 

 

We are presently in the final phase of the Capital Campaign and I pray that you will consider making a personal pledge in Building God’s House in our Time for our growing parish family. Everyone should have received a letter and pledge card by now.  Please fill it out and place it in the collection basket.  Our Parish Visitation Donation has been postponed until February 2005 due to our Capital Campaign. 

 

I am most grateful to all who have pledged and prayed for God’s will to lead us to the best plan for our parish family and for the those who will worship here in the future.  We have raised $3.2 million.  I believe that with your vibrant faith in SMM Parish we can reach over $4 million in this closing phase.   Please pick up a brochure in the vestibule. We ask your continued prayers, especially for the members of the Upper Providence Zoning Board, Planning Committee, and Council Members as they offer their decisions on our investigation to build God’s House in our Time.

 

Capital Campaign gifts have raised 

$3,248,946.88 in pledges, 

$1,312,670.98 in cash.

 

Please offer your personal thanks to all who have contributed and all who are sacrificing their time and sharing the story of St. Mary Magdalen home to home.   St. Mary Magdalen Pray for Us!
