Altar Fundraising Project


There are only two weeks to go in the matching funds offer for you new altar project. If you aren’t yet familiar with the project, just check out the new bulletin board in the kitchen of the Long Hall. It’s got all the details. The project will unfold throughout the coming year, and, when it’s all over, we will have a new carving on the front of our altar, a new crucifix behind our altar, and a polychromed episcopal throne. All of this is being done by our good friend from the UK, Martin Earle, but our very own Baker Galloway is managing and contributing to the project, so if, after you have looked over the bulletin board, you would like to get in on the project by donating in honor or in memory of someone important to you, just let Baker know. Altar Project Update: The overall project will cost between $13,000 and $15,000 (that difference in price is primarily due to the fluctuating value of pounds and dollars). However, a very generous, anonymous donor has promised to match whatever we give to the overall project! So, between now and the start of Great Lent, on Sunday, March 1, if you make a gift in honor or in memory of a loved one, our special donor will match that gift and make it possible for us to double our generosity. For further details, please check with our project manager, Baker Galloway.
