Capital Campaign Update Senior Warden

September 3, 2021

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Faith:

            In July I posted a letter on the Faith Episcopal website and included it in the Weekly Blast telling you that we were launching a Capital Fundraising Campaign to cover the costs of needed repairs at church. As you know we accomplished many projects during year 2020 and we are grateful to all the members and supporters of Faith Episcopal who generously donated their time, work, and money. But our church buildings have additional needs that need to be addressed in the near future. So far, we have raised over $4,000 which is half of what we need to repair the roof over the organ. Be assured that Mother Laura, the Bishop Committee members, and myself are also searching for grants and other funding sources to help with the repairs. Below is a list of repairs listed in order of priority:

Partnership with Fishline

Faith, Poulsbo’s Partnership with Fishline Foodbank: Faith Episcopal Church in Poulsbo has partnered with our local foodbank, Fishline, to offer showers, food, and clothing to those in need. We started this ministry in July of 2021, coincidently when the Northwest was in an unprecedented heat wave. Fishline is a non-profit social services agency serving the North Kitsap community by providing food, emergency services and resources.

By partnering with Fishline, Faith Church is able to offer showers and other services twice a week. Faith, Poulsbo is a small community with a limited number of volunteers and resources. Partnering with a social service agency has enabled us to provide needed services we could not provide on our own. Fishline is happy to have space and shower facilities to offer their clients, and Faith Church receives the joy of having their facilities used for the greater good of the community.

In Church Covid Safety Measures

I know we’re all looking forward to being back in the pews and there are some important things to keep in mind as we gather again.

• First and foremost, we will ALL be wearing masks. Until everyone has access to the vaccine, wearing masks remains the simplest way to protect our children and any visitors who might join us.
• Howard will be playing, but we are restricting the singing to our choir members who will also be masked.
• Please be mindful of the distance between yourself and others—particularly when it comes to those who have not yet been vaccinated.
• We will continue to partake of communion in accordance with our diocesan guidelines—from the edge of the altar, no wine will be served.
• All will be required to sign an attestation form and use hand sanitizer
