The Congregational
Church of Plainville
When given a precious family heirloom, people typically
cherish it, preserve it, use or display it with pride, and
hold in their hearts the thought that at some point they
will pass this on to a descendant who they believe will
do the same. That’s how heirlooms become heirlooms.
Our faith ancestors have done so for us. We, and all
those who have inherited both the tradition and the
structure of this beloved house of God, look at its 163
year history of faith and service with pride and gratitude.
It is now our turn to contemplate how best to provide for
the generations that will follow us, such that 163 years
from now, our legacy will be held precious by those to
whom we gift this faith tradition and this structure.
Come, be a part of making history! This historic capital
campaign will provide for structural supports for our
oldest parts of the building; it will allow for an increase in
use of the building for all people – such that the life within
these walls, lived in service to God, will be fruitful – and
multiply! Praise be to God!

Planning Your Gift
Since we are asking for a significant contribution from
our members above and beyond their normal giving,
we ask that you fulfill your pledge over a three year
period. Please see the pledge card for further details.
Can you find yourself in one of these levels?
A FUNdrAiser With
Substance!
The walkways around the church will need
rebuilding once the parking lots have been
repaved!
Every capitol campaign pledge will be
recognized with an engraved brick on
the walkway.
As an additional fund-raising initiative, we
are offering the opportunity for customized
bricks to be purchased for $250/corporate
or $100/family. You can purchase a brick on
which a designated name will be engraved,
and used in one of our permanent walkways.
You can remember a loved one, honor an
event or person or request this as a part
of a larger gift to our FUNdrAising efforts.
