Deck Fund Raising Project

February saw a successful launch of the Deck building fund raising which is our next Property Development project. We have a goal of $20,000 to raise by May of this year in order to build a deck off the foyer doors to the backyard. There are many ways to help support this project.

  1. On-line Auction - send you friends and family to our website at www.uuwinnipeg.mb.ca and go to Quick Links in the top right corner. There are more than 40 wonderful eclectic items available for a steal of a price if you get your bid in before March 13th. We are hoping the auction will raise at least a couple of thousand dollars - but really need your help sending people to the site.
  2. Buy a Board - raising funds by selling minature boards for $100, $50 or $25 dollars
  3. Special donations - we are counting on a number of generous people to step forward with more sizable donations. Without this type of gifting we will not reach our goal.
  4. Special events like Sunday lunches and raffles. Our launch on Feb 17th was a fun lunch with some raffle prizes. The next lunch is planned for April 11th.

Our Property Development projects can only go forward as we raise funds for each project. We know that the deck is a positive contribution to our church. It will give us great access to the back yard as well as enhance rental revenue. We hope you are able to generously support the project to the best of your abilities. Thanks everyone for a good start.

Webside Pulpit

“There are times, perhaps largely in the majority, when the material values press upon us and demand our attention. The average day is a busy day, and of necessity is concerned about bread and raiment. But there are other times when the roar of traffic is unheard, and in the solemn silence we find ourselves considering the things that are unseen and eternal.” ~ Julian C. Jaynes (born January 18, 1854)
