Q. When will the construction of the Michaux House be completed?

Q. When will the renovation work begin on the Sunday School Building and Gibson Hall?

A. This work should begin sometime in mid-summer after the move into Michaux House is completed.

Q. How much money have we raised so far?

A. We have raised a little more than $7.7 million. Gifts are expected from the St. James’s Endowment Fund, Inc. and several foundations.

Q. How can I help?

A. Make your pledge to Fan the Flame by contacting Frances Caldwell at Fcaldwell@doers.org or 355-1778 ext. 35. Since pledge payments will not be completed when construction is finished, St. James’s will have bridge financing costs which could exceed $500,000. Because St. James’s could save as much as $60 in financing costs for every $1,000 of campaign pledges paid one year ahead of schedule, we hope you will consider accelerating your payment schedule.
