Worship & Youth Church
10 AM Sunday
SCUBA VBS!
We want to thank our amazing directors - Erika & Nate Manges - our wonderful station leaders, crew leaders, and decorators (and all the wonderful support volunteers). Though it was the hottest week of June for about a century, we didn't let it beat us! We kept cool "under the sea" (the air conditioning helped too). Check out our gallery below to see snapshots of the fun. "Thanks God!"
Puckety Church Capital Campaign (2024-2028)
The 3 Parts/Projects of the campaign are now projected all to be complete this year:
1) Our Parking Lot (complete)
2) a new Church Roof (mid August) and
3) the need to update our outdoor Church Sign to an LED digital sign (projected - October/November).
The total approximate cost of these projects is $139,500.
How?
#1 First - Congregational Appeal - such as initial Gifts of money ... (in a saving account initial gifts are earning interest demonstrating good stewardship) ... Our appeal also includes a giving pledge in addition to our normal giving. Your normal giving covers the current operating budget of the church. This campaign is separate from the operating budget. If you communicate your commitment on a pledge card, please know your pledge is confidential and will only be used by the financial secretary. Lastly, we will solicit donations from community teams that may use our facilities. Please remember that normal giving is just enough to meet our operating expenses.
#2 Fundraising Events - the team has several ideas and encourages all of you to participate in at least one fundraiser and is currently accepting new team members. Thank you for your support of our Hoagie Sale (over $700 raised). Our NEXT fundraiser will be our Basket Auction / Spaghetti Dinner combo (Oct. 26/Nov. 2nd). Please also make use of the Raise Right gift card program - you get all of what you pay for, and retailers give the church a percentage - more information available through Denise Wehrle or Deb Artman.
#3 Finally, a $70,000 (5-year) loan has been secured via PILP. Remember… our ability to minister in the name of our savior depends on your commitment. In addition to our publications, you can contact the members of the Campaign Committee with any questions (chair - Chuck West - 724-882-0374). And, of course, the church will be in regular communication regarding the progress of the campaign. For now, PLEASE prayerfully consider how you can be part of the sacrificial support needed in this united undertaking. This campaign cannot happen without everyone's help. Let's remember we do this in service of Puckety's vision to be the heart, voice and hands of God making a lasting difference in our lives, community and world.
