The excitement is starting to build! As more people hear about the vision of the capital campaign, anticipation is rising. On Sunday, about 300 attended one of the services, and I heard from multiple people, “Wow, it was hard to find a parking spot today.” I’d chuckle and say, “Don’t worry. We’ve got a plan...
