I was UPC then......I like old cars.....:sshhh I bought a ticket.

Dude, you do not want me working on a car! LOL

I know it needs gas, oil, and wiper fluid. Everything else is rocket science to me.

You'd be surprised ... so many people like the fact that their name are on the leaves ... in our case the bricks .... it's something they can show their kids and grandkids ...

Why should we have to pay for our own church?

A way to combine a fundraiser w/outreach. One of the local ball association had a poker run that raised close to $10,000. One church stole my idea of Biker Sunday and had 300 bikers show up for service.

Help!!!!!

I don't mean for this to sound arrogant or condescending but what about sacrificial giving? You have a whole year to raise this money. I don't know the size of your congregation but what if they do a faith promise type of thing - not for missions this time - but for your building fund? It would work out to about $2500 a month that you need to take in.

Does your district help out at all in situations like this?

We've been in the most dire straits in times past and always managed to raise most of what we needed from church people.

If your property is paid for what are you raising money for? Perhaps you can inspire others to believe in what you're doing where they'll help you out. Make the need known and perhaps there are those you'd least expect who will be inspired to write out cheques.
