We are off to the races with our newest ministry, Neighbors of Mercy!

Speaking of races, Community Refugee and Immigration Services (CRIS), our partner for Neighbors of Mercy, is hosting its annual 5K+ community event on Saturday, October 4th, at Genoa Park in

downtown Columbus. The race begins at 10:00 a.m., and participants can run, jog, or walk the 3.1-mile course.

If you want to join the team we’re forming, please see Vicar Keith, who will be briskly walking this course. You can also visit our team page at https://runsignup.com/neighborsofmercyrelc.

This is CRIS’s largest fundraiser of the year, enabling them to support refugees and immigrants in our community. Neighbors of Mercy is forming a team for this event! We’ve set an ambitious goal to raise $1000 to support CRIS. If you’d like to help and make a donation, please visit our team page at https://runsignup.com/neighborsofmercyrelc. You can also support your favorite Vicar by donating through his individual page https://runsignup.com/vicarkeithmonroe. Alternatively, you could

sponsor a family member, friend, or someone in your congregation. Maybe a friendly competition will

develop! Stay tuned! All funds raised will go directly to CRIS.
