The Next Step
ANNUAL WTOS FUNDRAISER
Covenant Presbyterian Church is one of the founders
of West Texas Organizing Strategy. Since 1999 when the
organizing committee was founded, WTOS has worked hard
to improve the lives of families in our city and the state.
Through faith and action we are making a difference by
addressing social justice issues that affect our church families
and the community where we live.
The annual fundraiser for the WTOS Community
Sourcebook and Reference Guide begins this week. There are two ways to help:
1. Donate funds toward the $1,500 goal for a 1/4 page Covenant ad. This is a way
for the church to be intentionally visible in Lubbock. All of us together can make
this easily doable. Make checks payable to Covenant Presbyterian with a memo of
“WTOS ad.”
2. Buy an ad for your own business. The cost is tax deductible as an adver tising
expense. Make checks payable to WTOS with a memo of “ad book.”
Gifts should go to the church office or be placed in the offering plate.
Deadline for all contributions is November 10th.
Thank You for supporting our mission work at Covenant.
For more information contact Janet, Tavita, Ed, Yvonne, Gayle or Sally.
