Picking Up Steam

Although the blog has been quiet recently, this is in no way indicative of the activity level of the capital campaign projects. In fact, exciting developments are happening this week regarding the Koop Memorial Organ. Construction began on the choir loft and likely the old organ will no longer be there when you arrive for worship this Sunday. And it’s a good thing that all this is happening since Walker, the organ company which is constructing the new organ, has let us know that it is being built right now.

In addition to the developments on the organ project, there are also things happening on the global outreach front. Tenth is sending $26,000 from the Capital Campaign funds received thus far to help fund a new church building for the Los Olivos Community Center, Barranquilla, Colombia.

While these are just tidbits about these projects, in coming weeks you can expect to hear more about the organist who will be playing the dedicatory concert for the Koop Memorial Organ. (Don’t forget to mark you calendars for September 12!) And, we also hope to provide you with a more intimate perspective on the work being done in Colombia. Check back often has the blog is going to pick up steam to match the exciting pace of the capital campaign projects!

Envelopes

If you made a commitment to the capital campaign, you should receive several campaign giving envelopes with your confirmation letter. If you require more envelopes, these will be stocked in the pew racks, lobbies and the literature display rack in Reception Hall. You can also e-mail Nancy Hala, nhala@tenth.org, to request a supply of envelopes. However, it is not necessary to use these envelopes as you can merely write “capital campaign” on the memo line of your campaign checks and place them in your regular giving envelope.
