MOTHER’S DAY FLOWER FUNDRAISER
The ENSENADA EXPEDITION 2024 Mission Team has a fanciful flower fundraiser just in time for Mother’s Day!

Orders can be made online (https://beckerfreechurch.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/214/responses/new) or with team members until April 10. Flowers will be delivered the week leading up to Mother’s Day. Questions? Contact Mandi Eid, Michelle Gamble, or Wendy Jundt.
PICKLEBALL FOR A PURPOSE – JUNE 22
Join us for a FUN-draiser pickleball tournament, Saturday, June 22. Registration begins at 9am with awards to follow at 3pm. Registration for teams begins April 1. A Family Fun fest will take place at 10am, with concessions, face painting, games, music and a bubble party! Form your teams and get ready to register!
RAISERIGHT
The easiest FUNdraiser we have ever done is RAISERIGHT All it entails is creating an account by downloading the “RaiseRight Fundraising” app and entering our church’s enrollment code to link your proceeds to our church. Then you purchase gift cards to make your purchases at restaurants, grocery stores, clothing/retail stores, etc and a designated percentage gets credited to your account. For example, you go on a date to Texas Roadhouse and when it comes time to pay the bill, you open your app, order the amount needed to pay your bill with the amount coming out of your linked checking account a day or two later, submit the gift card number for payment, and then the rebate (usually 8 to 10% from Texas Roadhouse) will go to your account!
You’re not going on the mission trip? Designate who or what you’d like the proceeds to go toward!
For more information, contact Amanda Wheece or Pastor Chris! We’ll gladly show you how it works on our app!
