United Church of Carberry and Outreach Committee Wildfire Fundraiser – We are doing a fundraiser on June 25, 2025 here in Carberry Manitoba. I would like to make a call out to all churches to join us in this fundraiser with either donation of goods/Red Cross donations. We are also implementing a letter writing campaign to the firefighters, to give them hope and encouragement on the front lines. Most of them are away from their families and we are certain that letters from children and even adults would help them have hope and give them strength at this difficult time. We are now doing a donation drive before the fundraiser to get all that we need to send to the First Nations and Metis Federation, and of course to the firefighters. If you can help us in this effort, we would be more than grateful. Please pass this message onto other churches and ask if they can either donate or write a letter or a card that we can send up to them. That would be amazing. Our Lord has called upon us to do his work and try to ease the pain and suffering of his people. The Outreach Committee is also charged with this mission, as well as, all those in need. Maybe you can ask the churches to get socks, underwear, and personal hygiene items for the firefighters. We can also send those, as well. It is time for God’s children to come together and help one another.
- Tanis Gagne, Outreach Committee Member, Member of the United Church
I will be working 1 day a week at the church office for July and August. If needed, please call 204-534-6347 and leave a message. I will be checking messages daily. – Maxine Graham, Church Secretary
