help us pay off the bank loan
Red Deer Lake United has begun a financial campaign to pay off the bank loan. This will enable our community of faith to use cash resources for investing in our ministries rather than debt servicing. We invite pledges for financial commitments over the 2024-2026 timeframe. We also welcome cash donations at any time.
How can you do this?
To make a pledge, please email Mike Jackson, Treasurer, at michaelsidneyjackson@gmail.com or speak with Michelle Den Hoed, Doug Den Hoed or Rob Howard.
