REACH FOR THE STARS
Advent Fundraising Campaign
It’s that most wonderful time of the year once again!
It’s Christmas Time.
A time to be thankful for that all God has given us.
A time to share our love with each other.
A time to show our thanks to First United for being a magnificent place of worship.
This year we invite you to participate in a Special Fundraising Campaign to help sustain our beautiful church throughout the 2021 year.
If you look up to the church chimney (south side of the church), you will see 4 stars. Our hope is to bring light to each of these stars before New Year’s Day! How will we do that? We can do it if we all pitch in and give a little in the Spirit of Christmas.
Our goal is to reach $10,000 by December 31st.
When we reach $2,500 the first star on the chimney will be lit;
when we reach $5,000 two will be lit;
$7,500 = 3 stars lit;
and when we reach our goal of $10,000… all 4 starts will be lit!
To contribute to this fundraiser,
just designate your donation in some way to “REACH FOR THE STARS”.
Your donation can be made by Cheque, Cash, E-Transfer, PAR or PayPal. For anyone opening a new PAR or PayPal account, committed to making monthly donations,
we will multiply the first month’s donation by 12
and add that sum towards reaching our goal.
Let’s all pitch in and make this a Christmas to remember by lighting all four stars!!
