The last few months have hit our endowment hard.
In 1980, during the tenure of the Rev. Norman Hall, St. Barts was the fortunate recipient of a fund donated by Ada Jewett. It was a 1.5 million dollar blessing that allowed the church to remain stable for nearly 30 years. We used the investment income to pay for staff, some operating expenses and our ministry in difficult times. We have recently learned that we have $5,500 in cash from that original amount. This investment fund also included other donations of stock and cash.
