CWJC Golf Tournament

The second annual Golf Tournament for Christian Women's Job Corp will be

held at Gunter’s Landing on 8/18/2017 @ 8:30 AM. Since our church has

many golfers, it would be great if we could get at least a couple of teams.

Supporting such a worthy organization assists us in one of their two

fundraising events. As a member of that Board I can attest to the lives that

are changed in the women who graduate from CWJC after sixteen weeks

training. When they find the freedom in accepting Jesus Christ into their

lives they truly become NEW Creatures in Christ. For more information on

the Golf Tournament or for having a team please contact Tim Hays or myself.

No money is needed until the day of the Tournament.

Thanks,

Mary Hinote

Coming in September!
