What does the $$ get spent on? ....
A new organ, a new roof, paying down the principal on the mortgage, parking lot repaving, sextan and secretary salaries, nursery helpers (usually unpaid) finally get paid, and the Sunday School gets a new curriculum, scholarships to Summer Church Camp, and so on and so forth. You see, I am a parish Treasurer and I know where I would spend that kind of money.
I don't know if folks think a church just runs on the hot air generated by the sermons, or what . . .
Not enough money there for a new pipe organ. Perhaps a small electric one or organ repairs. The salaries, curriculum and scholarships should be in the operating budget, not a capital campaign. The other items would be in a capital campaign. Just a repainting of the facility would eat up a chunk of the money.
The drive does not strike me as ambitious, although it appears that the biggest giver covered the air conditioning outside the fund drive. I'm still puzzled by the state grant for a new bell tower.
