Doug Davidson Building Fund
In October of 2008, we created this fund as a way to finance future building and restoration projects. In January and then again in June, we voted on a major project to update our heating system and to correct problems with our foundation that have led to serious flooding. Thus, our church committed itself to raising at least $500,000 over the next five years. Immediate financing has been secured from Ottawa Presbytery, but loan repayment will be an ongoing challenge. If you are in a position to make a pledge towards this fund, please contact us at the info@glebestjames.ca. Or, if you're willing to participate in our fund raising activities, we'd love to have your input.
