MORE NEWS ABOUT ELEVATE SUDBURY - COMING JUNE 6 TO 8
Pastor Jason Tripp of the Valley View Community Church, located in
Blezard Valley, is one of the coordinators of a new initiative that has
evolved from another event that was known as Celebrate in the Park and
will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary this year. The one day event
has now grown to something that will better meet the needs of a the much
broader community of Greater Sudbury and will include the coordination
of not only the churches throughout the region but also the Community
Action Networks, the Ward Councillors, and other schools and
organizations that are interested in making Greater Sudbury a better
place to live and improving the quality of life for everyone.
Making our community a better place to live is a priority for local
residents living in Valley East and we are encouraging each and ever
family to get involved in some small way on June 7.
A number of leaders from the churches and the community have come
together to “elevate” others to looking out for ways that we can
collectively serve the people around us. It is something that is
intended to provide the motivation and inspiration to many people
throughout the community in all of the Wards to “do something”, even if
it is just cleaning up the front of your yard, picking up garbage in the
neighbourhood park, holding a fund-raiser for a charity, or organizing a
study group or meeting in the community.
The focus of the weekend will be Saturday, June 7, 2014 which will be
the day that everyone starts out on their particular project or mission.
Between now and then individuals and groups can get involved in Elevate
by starting to formulate your plans and getting your group together.
Start preparing for your new project or initiative and plan on getting
under way on June 7. This does not need to be a one day project. It
could be the start of a continuous initiative or something that you have
already been doing, but you can use June 7 as a new launch or boost day.
There is also a Comedy Night fundraiser being held on Thursday, May 8 at
Glad Tidings Church with tickets going for $10. The proceeds will be
used to help fund the Elevate Weekend activities. I will provide you
with a poster that will give you more information about the Comedy
Night.
You can find out more by watching a short video that Pastor Jason Tripp
has put together to explain what Elevate Sudbury is all about. Take time
to look at this short video and see what you can do to one of our own
community leaders from Valley East.
