Bridging Our Future Through Faith - Lift It Up Campaign 

---

               Our BFF - LIT Campaign was relaunched on March 17, 2019.   We had begun the campaign in 2014 and it was put on hold until March, but on the 17th we began again and what a beginning it was!   March 25 we held our Leadership launch and then on April 7th we celebrated on Celebration Sunday with a celebration service and then a luncheon.  We learned that we had raised almost $250,000 in pledges.  The pledges are to be paid over the next 3 years.  Because the campaign had been put on hold we had some money that had been pledged before and with the interest we had enough to begin the work.  Our plan is to do the remodel of the Main level.  We will be remodeling the Carlton Rooms into one room and we will be raising the ceiling and redoing the floor and finally we will be opening up the beautiful stained windows.  We will be adding a much needed closet and we will be moving the Music Room to right next to the Carlton Room.  The nursery will remain where it is and a new hallway will be added which the addition to two bathrooms.  The hallway will also be given an upgrade.  The existing bathroom will be removed and the space will  be add to the office.  With the plan in place, some money available work began on April 29.   The Carlton Room is schedule to be near completion by the middle of June!  Stop by to see the exciting things that are going on.
Not a part of the campaign at this time is the addition to the back of the building, an elevator, and a kitchen remodel.  We also will be working on the restoration of our beautiful windows.  The large windows, Mary, Martha and Faith, Hope and Charity are in need of repair and restoration also one of the windows in the Carlton is in need of work.  All of the windows in the church need some work but they are not as urgent.   With the help of the Trustees we will be having the Faith, Hope, and Charity window will begin work soon.
