Dear Team GA,
We are not just raising money for new carpet or composite roofing tiles. We are investing in the good soil that is GA. These were the encouraging words of Tyler LeClear Vachta, our final congregation member to share a Temple Talk as part of our Building Hope in Community campaign.
We are confident you are like us that we can see the many ways this church has been good soil for you and provided you space to grow in your faith and deepen your relationship with a community that cares about you. Your generous commitment tomorrow towards our campaign will allow GA to continue to be good soil for generations to come.

We are excited to see you tomorrow!

With Gratitude,
The Building Hope in Community Leadership Team

Dear Team GA,
Who is "Team GA"? According to Mary Lou Cromey, it is you. It is all of us. It takes the whole team to make GA the wonderful community that it is.
Mary Lou challenges each of us on Team GA to consider a donation to our Building Hope in Community campaign, so that we can continue to be a church that grows with the community around us.
Team GA isn't complete without you! We hope to see you on Sunday.

Dear GA Community,
On April 26, Larry Cowan reminded us that "true generosity doesn't come from abundance, but from gratitude and love that flows to the heart."
It has been our invitation to you over these past weeks to recognize what a generous, from the heart, gift towards Building Hope in Community will be for you. On Sunday, when we gather for worship, you will be invited to share what your gift to the campaign will be. Be in prayer, asking for God's guidance in making a generous commitment.

Dear GA Community,
Over the past six weeks, you have learned about all we hope to do as part of our Building Hope in Community capital campaign. We have been so lucky to have a series of wonderful congregation members offer Temple Talks during this time, beginning with Evie Lipetzky on April 19th.
Evie reminded us when EVERYONE does our part, we will be able to continue to maintain our building and make the necessary improvements to it. Evie is so right--to accomplish our goal, we need you to decide what your part is going to be and be ready to make a commitment on Sunday. We look forward to seeing you then!
