Bequest from James Lovell Estate
We want to tell you about some wonderful news. Our Church Home has received a Bequest of $30,000 from the Estate of James Lovell with the proceeds having been allocated to the Endowment Fund. Jim was a long-term friend of Lely Presbyterian Church who was a person of deep faith and is remembered as a quiet, caring person. We are so grateful for Jim’s commitment to Lely Presbyterian and for his very generous gift, which will allow us to continue to do God’s work, serve those in need and spread the word of our savior. Thank you, Jim.
