THIS SUNDAY SERVICES

Sat Sep 19 St. E Walkathon Fundraiser

  • Our church will be holding a walkathon fundraiser, and we warmly invite all brothers and sisters to set aside time to participate. Let us come together to support the needs of our church as we walk in faith, kindled by God. 

  • Why We Are Fundraising

    • Over the past year, our church building has been affected by severe weather and aging infrastructure. Water leaks have developed in several areas of the roof, disrupting both our tenants and the church’s daily activities. As a result, urgent repairs and facility improvements are needed. 

    • At the same time, our church is strengthening its ministries to better support the sharing of the gospel and the provision of pastoral care. Our goal is to honour God and serve our community faithfully. Because our current funds are primarily used to cover regular operating expenses, we have decided to organize this fundraiser to support these important needs. 

  • Fundraising Purposes

    • The funds raised through the walkathon will be used: 

      • To support the church’s maintenance reserve fund. 

      • To support the needs and development of our ministries. 

  • Fundraising Goal: $5,000 or more 

  • Event Details

    • Date: Saturday, September 19 

    • Time: 10:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m.

    • Refreshments: Snacks and water will be provided for participants.
