First, recruit more people/groups to help the effort. It's exhausting to be one of few who are doing the heavy lifting. More groups = more load sharing. Is there a national headquarters or something that can help, either with money or by asking other member churches to help your unit now? Dec 1st is very soon. Start checking into rent-with-option ideas or alternate financing, too. Any church members with chargeable skills (yard work, painting, house cleaning, baby sitting,etc.) who will donate the money to the church? Enlist kids if you can, too. Good luck to you.
