Our Soup and Pie supper last year was such a popular fundraiser that we were eager to try it again. This time we made arrangements to use a city church, the Lawson Heights Alliance Church to make it more convenient for seniors in Saskatoon. Our Supper was held on February 6, 4-8 pm.

Instead of a church group catering for us, our own Board and staff members, and friends pitched in to bring the soups and pies and do the work.

The attendance was much less than anticipated. 102 instead of the 300 we prepared to serve, however, the donations were up and we were able to realize $4995 before expenses. For this we praise God.

We are grateful to all who took part. May God bless you richly!

A Prayer Walk-Jog-Cycle for Jesus

This will be held in memory of Mark Jenkins on June 19, 2004 starting 10 AM, from Mark's tree in the north end of the Meewasin Trail in Saskatoon. (starting at approximately 468 Whiteswan Drive north).

This is a fund-raising drive for Western Tract Mission, and we plan to use the monies raised for printing costs.

Gift certificates for Scott Parable stores will be given as prizes for the most funds raised.

Anyone may participate, even if from a wheelchair or a baby stroller. We do suggest that each person entering, the Prayer Walk-Jog-Cycle try to raise a minimum of $50 in pledges. For your registration and pledge forms, contact us at (306)244-0446 - office, or through our feedback forms.

The Third Annual Saskatchewan Cyclathon

We are participating again under the organizational auspices of The Cycling Connection, a ministry based in Abbotsford, B.C. This takes place in the greater Saskatoon area on July 10 - 11, and is open to cyclists wanting to raise funds for any of a number of ministries.

Cyclists will have the option of cycling 50 kms or 100 kms on the Saturday, and then cycling another 100 kms on Sunday.

Get your registration forms from our office, or from The Cycling Connection. You don't necessarily have to ride in Saskatchewan. If you prefer, you can ride in Fraser Valley, British Columbia (July 17-18), Southern Alberta (July 24-25), Rocky Mountain Ride (July 31-August 2), or Vancouver Island (September 1-8). Which ever ride you choose, simply indicate that you want the funds from your sponsors to go to Western Tract Mission.

These Rides are a spiritual retreat and opportunity for new friendships for serious cyclists, who want to partner with a ministry like ours. The local contact person is Ruth Friesen, at 225-2138, or email her.
