Chalice Lighters and Faithify
03 August 2020
Thanks to all the individuals in the MidAmerica Region whose generous contributions made this past fiscal year’s Chalice Lighter calls and Faithify campaigns a huge success. Through your collective efforts, we were able to help raise almost $100,000 to fund the dreams of MidAmerica congregations. The Fall, Winter, and Spring 2020 Chalice Lighters calls raised a combined $40,000 to support our congregations in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Columbus, Indiana.
