175th Anniversary Appeal 

 

Celebrating 175 years of ministry

 

 

 

What is the 175th Anniversary Appeal?

The congregation of First Lutheran voted to enter into the 175th Anniversary Appeal to celebrate

the anniversary and prepare for many more years of service to God and his people .

 

What is included in the appeal?

There are five projects in the appeal with an estimated cost of $500,000.  They are prioritized as follows:

1. Pay off an existing debt to New Life Charitable Foundation

2. Restore the stained glass windows in 3 phases at an estimated cost of $275,500 

3. Repave the parking lot

4. Repair the portico

5. Construct a “Stewards of the Grounds” Ministry Building

Each project would be fully funded before the next is begun.

 

How will the appeal be funded? 

Pledges will be received as part of the Stewardship Campaign on October 13th.  New Life

Charitable Foundation will kick-off the campaign with a gift of $25,000.  In addition, New Life will match each dollar given to the appeal for the next 5 years.  The matching money is only available if New Life has grantable money for that fiscal year, following their standard grant procedures.

 

How can I help?

Pledge cards will be filled out in October as part of the Stewardship Campaign.  Pledges for the 175th

Anniversary campaign are for a 5 year period of time.  There is also an opportunity to

sponsor the restoration of a window as an individual, as a family or as part of a group.
