Hello Church Family,

Just wanted to let you all know that our Team site for the BC Children's hospital is up and running. I've been a one-man-team for the past week and a half and would love your help.

The Early bird deadline is April 12th...$25.00, after that until May 24th...$30.00 , and then any last minute people up until race day will be $35.00

Lets all pull together to not only make this event a huge success but to also impact our community. Lets help the kids to fight cancer by supporting the ChildRun and raising money for cancer research.

If you can't run, you can still donate. You can register and cheer on your friends on the side line or you can donate under a team member's name.

1 Timothy 6 :17 says...
"command those who are rich in this present world (hey, that's us!) not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share".

God has given us wealth and health. Lets come together as a team and help the children ( We all know how much children mean to God) .....=) To His Glory!!!.... Tim Mak
