Fundraising: A Vital Part of Gateway
Galatians
6:9 exhorts us: “Let us not become
weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not
give up.” What an encouragement for
all Gateway families as we labor in various fundraising capacities. I want to remind you about how your efforts in fundraising in particular
are a vital part of “doing good” in the Lord’s ministry at Gateway.
In addition
to classroom bake sales, the 8th Grade’s Hot Lunches, Nachos,
Pancake Breakfasts, Spaghetti Dinner, etc.,
one fifth (20%) of Gateway’s daily operations are also sustained by
major fundraising events. Three of
these major fundraisers are now before us in the final months of this
year. They are the…
Easter
See’s Candy Sale March 15-April 3
6th
Annual Gateway Golf Classic April 8, 2006
Lion Roam-A-Thon May 5
Please do not become “weary” as
these wonderful opportunities come before you.
Each fundraiser needs active sellers, participants and promoters. The result of your efforts will be a solid
financial end for Gateway. I am
looking forward to every family participating as fully as possible. May the LORD give us all strength, endurance
and joy as we labor together in these final fundraisers! Serving
the Savior,
Mr.
