FUND RAISING CAMPAIGN - RENOVATIONS UPDATE

Grateful for the Past …  Giving for Our Future Campaign

We have reached the 80% mark in the campaign! Very well done but we continue to accept your Donations and Pledges until we reach our target. Pledges can be made either by mail, drop-off at the office, or the collection plate. Be sure to mark the envelopes as “Fundraising”. Tax receipts for all monies received before December 31, 2011, will be issued in January, 2012. The pledge total will be updated each weekend and posted here and on the boards at each entrance to the church. Any questions, concerns, please call Barbara Smith, Administrative Assistant, Fundraising Committee, at 519-824-4795, or by email at: smithbarbaraj@rogers.com
We wish to thank everyone for your generous support thus far of our fund raising campaign.

It is expected that the renovation work will start by the end of January.


From time to time, an inspirational item or a humorous anecdote will be posted for your enjoyment.
