As our congregation prepares for unification, we sense God calling us to take good care of the blessings He has entrusted to us. Just as Marvin recently celebrated paying down $30,000 of its $90,000 debt, Lewis Memorial is also taking steps to strengthen our
Foundations for the Future.
Our goal is to raise $25,000 by Sunday, November 6.
A generous, anonymous donor has stepped up to match every gift, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000 to the Trustees Project Fund. That means every contribution will have twice the impact. With the matching gift, that will provide $50,000 dedicated to caring for our facilities so we can continue serving our community with strength and confidence even when the next A/C unit breaks or a major maintenance need arises.
One of our biggest needs right now is addressing deferred maintenance, especially aging A/C units that are long past their prime. We know it isn’t a matter of if another unit fails or a major repair is needed — it’s a matter of when. By raising these funds now, we can be proactive rather than reactive. Instead of scrambling when the next crisis hits, we’ll be prepared to act immediately and keep our focus on ministry.
To give today, designate your gift either in person or online to “Foundations for the Future Campaign.” All monies received will go into our Trustees Project Fund. These gifts will not only meet practical needs but also free resources for mission and ministry. Everyone is invited to pray about joining this effort. Together, we can ensure that our campus remains a place of welcome, worship, and witness, prepared to handle all that God has in store in this exciting season. Thank you in advance for the joy and generosity you bring to our shared mission.
How to Give

Every Sunday, we invite the community to join us for worship at 10: 00 am. If you are able to attend our service in person, the offering plates are circulated. If you prefer in person giving, this is the easiest way to give!
Special offerings may be collected, and are usually listed in the Weekly Update. Additional in person giving opportunities are available on the first Sunday of each month as we come forward as a church family for Communion.
