Congregation
approves Phase One proposals
On Sunday afternoon,
July 27, the congregation approved the recommendations of the Church
Council to proceed with Phase One of our 2020
Vision. The first stage will include modifications of the sanctuary
("Sanctuary Enhancement") as well as providing $40,000
to Selian Hospital in Tanzania for the construction of a recovery
house for children. (The latter represents 25% of the mission component
of Phase One.)
The recommendations
which were approved were presented as three resolutions:
- RESOLVED: That this congregation,
approve the Sanctuary Enhancement Proposal, as presented by the
Sanctuary Enhancement Team and as designed by John Miller.
- RESOLVED: That this congregation,
authorize the Church Council to disburse funds from the Capital
Campaign to complete the Sanctuary Enhancement as approved, and
to provide $40,000 to Selian Lutheran Hospital in Arusha, Tanzania
to construct a recovery facility for children at the hospital.
Following the funding of these two components, the remaining Capital
Campaign components of Debt Reduction, Mission, and Endowment
Fund will be funded, as funding becomes available, in the proportions
agreed upon at the September 30, 2007 Congregational Meeting.
- RESOLVED:
That this congregation authorize the Church Council to enter into
a short-term bridge loan, if needed, to complete the Sanctuary
Enhancement and to provide funding for the Selian Lutheran Hospital
Mission component, for an amount not to exceed $450,000 for duration
not to exceed twelve months. All principal and interest payments
on such a loan would be paid from Capital Campaign funds.
