Our Budget and Our Building Need Help We have launched our Annual Appeal—Seeds of Growth—to fund our budget and keep our work going strong. Without robust giving things grind to a halt. Only increased giving, by all who can, will get us to $800,000, what we need for a staff that includes a full-time associate. Commitment Sunday is May 31st. Plan to attend. We also launch our Shining Brightly campaign for building repair and capital needs, seeking pledges to be paid over 3-5 years. We will collect these pledges throughout the summer and announce our total at Homecoming Sunday, September 13, 2015.
