Vote #2 for Ministry Expansion Project

The second (of three) votes for our Ministry Expansion project is scheduled for Sunday December 16.  The congregational meeting at which this vote will occur begins at 9:15 and will be held in the Grace sanctuary.

This second vote will authorize:
  • Our architect to prepare blueprints in order to receive formal bids from contractors
  • A three-year capital stewardship campaign
  • Our securing of a short-term loan for incurred expenses prior to the receipt of pledges (approximately $125,000 over a period of several months)
  • Our leadership to schedule our congregation's third vote sometime in the late spring or early summer of 2013.

To be eligible to participate in this vote you must be on record as having contributed financially to Grace within the past 12 months and have received Holy Communion at least three times during that period.
