HIStory

The first “official” meeting of the Western New York Chapter took place Jan. 30, 2004 at Hope Lutheran Church in Greece, N.Y. This was also where the first public meeting of Climbing For Christ had occurred on Feb. 1, 2002. Seven people attended the 2002 meeting, one of the baby steps in the early development of this organization.

WNY Update: Fun & fundraising

Ice cream is good medicine

Gary Fallesen 0 883

Hope Lutheran Church (1301 Vintage Lane, Rochester, NY) is hosting an ice cream fundraiser for Climbing For Christ from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Aug. 9. It’s called “Change for Change.” It’s a drive-through ice cream event: Drive through, get a cone or dish of ice cream, and drop some change in a bucket. You can also drop a check or bills into the bucket. All the funds will go to C4C’s New Generation, which is conducting a medical mission in Kalimet and Majon, Haiti at the end of August. We need $4,000 to make this mission possible. UPDATE: More than $1,850 was raised. Praise God!
