Realizing the Vision...

Q. How are we going to get this accomplished?
A. Through faith, thoughtful planning and preparation, good stewardship of our time, talents and treasures, fervent prayer, pledges, grants, special projects, gifts, and with the grace of God.

What we are doing already...

1. Regular Sunday collection - directed toward the general operations of the church.

2. "Give Us A Foot" Program -directed toward the building of the new Temple through the generous donation of those people whose names have been forwarded to us by those within our community.

3. The Fundability Program - directed toward the building of the new Temple and will help to offset the future balance of the monthly mortgage payment. These funds come from both within our community as well as others.
This fundraising program costs participants nothing. Participants of the program have the opportunity to purchase gift certificates from about 100 participating grocery stores, retailers, and restaurants. Fundability sells these certificates to us at a discount. Our parishioners and friends buy the certificates from us, and the church keeps the difference as "profit." The parishioners use the certificates the same as cash to purchase items or services.
Here is complete list of merchants included in Fundability List.

7. Stock Transfers - made by individuals and/or families and directed toward the building of the new Temple, in which Stocks are either transferred to the Church or their proceeds after being sold are then given to the church. These funds come from both within our community as well as others.

8. Special events (e.g. festival, dinners, open houses, pierogi making. etc.)- directed toward the building of a new Temple and are coordinated by the community and it extends to those who live elsewhere.

9. Participation in "SHARE". SHARE offers savings on quality food and groceries for everyone who volunteers just two hours a month. This food then used for preparing fundraising lunches and branches for the community. The raised funds are transferred toward the building of a new Temple.
