Steps of Faith
Capital Campaign

     Our church is about to go through major construction that is the most significant event at the Community Congregational Church, other than the church's inception and the building of this existing structure.  Today we have an opportunity for growth perhaps unlike any other time in our history.

     This is a large step of faith for us because we are a small church, but it is a necessary step if we are to fulfill God's call in this community.

     To become a "user-friendly" church, we are planning to expand our facility to accommodate:

  1. our growing Sunday School needs
  2. a growing need to reach out to those physically challenged (by age or disability)
  3. our need to update and renovate our current facility

     We will be including a Missions component into our building campaign.  A small portion of the funds raised will be sent to our sister church in Haiti as Pastor Olistin's church is also embarking upon a building campaign.  In 2 Corinthians 9:7-9, Paul wrote - "for cheerful givers are the ones God's prizes.  God is able to make it up to you by giving you everything you need and more, so that there will not only be enough for your own needs, but plenty left over to give joyfully to others.  It is as the Scriptures say:  'The godly man gives generously to the poor.  His good deeds will be an honor to him forever'."

For more on the campaign's goals, please read Roland Mousseau's speech given to us during a special church meeting on Jan 26th, 2003.

Capital Campaign
We hired Margery Williams and Carol Darnly to assist us with the capital campaign.  Both Margery and Carol are Stewardship Associates with the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ.  Margery was also the Gift and Promise Coordinator for the Mass Conference. Margery gave a speech during a special church meeting on January 26th.

     A goal of this campaign is to bring us closer to God and the church into a fuller union with Christ.  For, as it is true that a deepening faith leads to more generous giving, it is also true that more generous giving leads to a deeper faith.
