Specific Need
The 150+ year old United Presbyterian Church of Blue Rapids building is in need of significant repairs. Specifically, the north wall of the sanctuary has shifted and is in need of stabilization or replacement. The sanctuary is unusable in its current state. The costs of this repair or replacement are unknown at this point but will be substantial.
This year's Circle of Giving is an excellent opportunity to help with this problem as a $70,000 grant for matching funds has been given by the Patterson Family Foundation to the Blue Rapids Circle of Giving Match Day. Gifts between $25 and $3500 will receive a 50% match. This is the largest matching fund we have ever had, and we need to take full advantage of it!
