I am so happy that our inaugural North Central Family 5K is finally here! This Saturday (April 13) morning volunteers will being setting up at 5am, registration for the runners will be at 6:30am, and the race starts at 8am. It will be an early morning for all involved, but it is sure to be lots of fun.
Some of you have asked why All Saints' decided to have a race, so I am going to share the why with you. We decided to have a race because we wanted to do something that would be fun for all ages, old and very young alike, and help us to connect more with the wider community. Having a race allows those of us who are regular attendees at All Saints' to get to know one another outside of the pews and it also allows us an opportunity to meet people from around North Central Phoenix.
The race also allows us to raise funds for both Family Ministries and our partner parish and school St. Paul's in Haiti. For All Saints' additional funds for Family Ministries means that we can try new and exciting programs to engage our children, youth, and families. For St. Paul's the additional funds means they can finish building the walls and roof for their school so that different grades can have their own classrooms. In short the North Central Family 5K is a friend-raiser and a fundraiser that we hope will become a loved tradition.
It's not too late to volunteer or register for the North Central Family 5K! If you would like to volunteer show up and see where help is needed. If you would like to register for the race please go to www.ncf5k.org or you can register in person on the morning of the race.
Looking forward to seeing you bright and early on Saturday!
Peace,
Lauren+
