Immanuel received a letter last week with the following opening paragraph:
“Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Thank you for submitting a loan application with the Mission lnvestment Fund ("MlF"). lt is exciting to see that lmmanuel Lutheran Church is looking for ways to enhance its mission through a potential renovation project. Your application has received favorable consideration and the MIF is prepared to support the ministry with a loan amount up to $500,000.”
Thank you to John Pietrella, Donna Bellerose, Ali Thayer and Larre Nelson for their work on the application and follow up requests from MIF, and for all who participated in the fundraising effort and were able to give to the campaign so far. This is a big step that supports our project and we should celebrate this accomplishment!
Note that this letter represents a pre-approval amount only, based on our financial picture. A formal loan application to MIF will require architectural drawings, bids from contractors, etc. and is a step we will take together in the future. The building committee meets almost every Sunday after the 10:15 a.m. worship service if you would like to participate or stop in to see what’s happening.
