On June 3^rd please join with us in celebration of our South Church Endowment. On this Sunday all donations to our plate collection (unless otherwise designated) will go to the South Church Endowment.

Our SC Endowment is alive and well and contains approximately $630,000 rebounding nicely from economic downturn in the past few years.

Over the years proceeds from our endowment have been used for outreach through both the Karnan and Badger Funds, capital improvements to South Church and contributions to our operating budget. Just in the past 10 years close to $300,000 has been used to meet these needs and others. The Endowment Committee attempts to walk a fine line of using the Endowment to fund the mission of our church and at the same time allowing the fund to grow to insure it will continue long after all of us are gone.

Come Sunday June 3^rd to worship service and learn more about your South Church Endowment.
