Hedding United Methodist Church is launching a capital campaign called "Sharing the Grace" to increase their annual operating budget and raise $125,000 for building renovations. Their goals are to support worship, mission, and education programs through increased annual giving and restore the church steeple while making other facility improvements. Church members will be invited to learn about the campaign and prayerfully consider a three-year pledge to both the annual operating fund and capital project fund starting in January 2016.

36. I continue to be amazed by the work
God is doing through Hedding United
Methodist Church. The Sharing the
Grace campaign will enhance our
ministries with an accessible rest
room, an expanded food shelf, and
ensure that our steeple remains a
beacon of hope in Barre. Each day I
see lives transformed as we share
God’s grace and love with our
neighbors. We are blessed to be a
blessing.
