Many of our church members and friends helped with the debt reduction campaign here at Platte Woods United Methodist Church. As we are nearing the completion of paying off the debt on the newest addition to our church, I thought you might like to know where things stand.
On January 1, 2006, we owed some $3,324,000 on the educational wing addition. We owe $322,997 on the addition, which means we have paid off some $3,000,000 in the past 38 months. That is GREAT.
In reviewing the support provided, I find the following:
299 pledges were received totaling $2,012,436.
279 pledges have paid $1,568,217 (58 pledges paid in full).
We received $1,757,800 in unpledged support.
There remains $444,219 in pledges outstanding.
Our goal is to end 2009 being debt-free. In these economic times, that will be GOOD NEWS!
