A big thank you is expressed to all those who participated in our second annual Shred-It event. A total of 1800 pounds of paper was shredded by Isaac Anderson of Cintas Document Management. Thanks also to Dave Roten and Tony Wilson for getting the church paper to the shredding truck. As a result of this event, a total of $ 295 will be contributed to The Center Campaign.

We will watch a short video called "The Lunch Date" and then have discussion, then  free time until dinner.

As we are sure you're all aware, our Center Campaign goal is $2,000,000. We're pleased to say that we've now surpassed $1,650,000 from 81 parishioners. Many of you have been contacted in person or by phone by our Steering Committee members, and we appreciate your willingness to listen to their message.

We would like to sincerely thank all who have already pledged, as well as all who have encouraged others to support this campaign. We recognize that our giving to God is a very private and personal matter between us and Him. Discuss it with Him often, and thank Him for the privilege of giving. Make giving an act of the heart, done with great love and joy.

Remember that no amount is too small and the term of payment is three years. Please prayerfully consider how you can support our Parish Life Center and God's work. Please try to make your own commitment and turn in your Letter of Intent by Sunday, September 28.

In Christ's Name,
Nan & Jack Boyne
