Barb started off talking about how she got to St. Luke’s (married Jim, a long-time member and after a year, the pastor told her she should join as she was always there worshiping anyway. Their three boys were all raised in the church, got married here, had their children baptized here and are all still members here!
She also highlighted her role as Stewardship chair and as the stewardship representative to the 100% for 100 years capital campaign. She highlighted how St. Luke’s has stable leadership, a dedicated staff and committed volunteers. She mentioned that the church has one of the most desirable locations in Bloomington. The only missing piece is financial stability, and that is what this capital appeal is trying to help accomplish.
Barb shared, “We have stability in leadership, dedicated staff and committed volunteers. We have perhaps the best location in Bloomington. But the one piece still needed is financial stability.
For several years, we as the church have been able to able to act as good stewards of our resources, carefully managing the annual budget to make sure it is balanced. However, we have been unable to include facilities reserve and repair funds into our operating budget. Additionally, resource needs for outreach ministries have been unmet.”
