FOR OUR CITY Walk-A-Thon
Details
Saturday, July 5th
7pm opening worship kickoff online and in-person (at 5310 Packard Drive)
We MOVE all night long throughout the city with prayer locations and pre-announced check points along the way (the goal is to move 70 miles as a church!)
End it with an 8am online and in-person worship option.
James 2:26 “Faith without Works is Dead”
This event is to help us raise up a FOR OUR CITY Fund to make needed repairs to our building. These improvements will help us impact our city in greater ways and help us launch a City Kids Academy (preschool) for our community.
So what are we doing?
We will start at our building with a Worship Gathering 7/5 at 7pm and then start moving. There will be 55-minute live updates on our Facebook page as we move throughout the night all over the city (as close to on-the-hour every-hour as possible). As we move, we will be praying for our city at various strategic locations. We will have checkpoints that will be posted so people know where we are at at all times throughout the night. People will be invited to move from one checkpoint to the other with us at any time throughout the night as we stop and pray every 55 minutes. Want to go all night? Great! Can you only commit to the first couple hours or final couple hours? That's fine too! Join us in person or online as you can! We will end this thing at the church at 8 AM for final closeout worship gathering. There will NOT be an 11:07am Worship Experience that Sunday morning so set the alarm a little early and join us at 8am for the ending!
How does this raise money?
We're asking those that participate in any of the walk to challenge their friends/family to give! A simple example is to commit to walk 1 mile and ask 10 people to donate $10 each if you meet that goal. That $100 raised might not seem like a lot but it adds up! We'll also provide a giving link on each of the 55 minute live broadcasts we do during the walk so those that see us online can give any amount throughout the event. These donations will specifically go to help us make improvements on our building as we work to launch a pre-school and other community-focused outreaches.
