Today is an important day in the life of our Corps as the Ascot Park Shop opens for its first day of trade.
Up front I need to thank Greg Varidel and Wendy Sudron for their incredible work in getting the shop to the stage that it's at - ready for sales.
This shop is going to help us remain sustainable financially, especially at our Glenelg campus. It also broadening our outreach base and our exposure to the greater Marion community. It is another opportunity for us to shine God's light in Adelaide's south so that through the testimony of the volunteers and the assistance offered to the public (as well as the funds raised) others will join us as disciples of Jesus Christ.
At this stage the shop is open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9am - 2pm. We need volunteers to help staff other days. The more we open, the more consistently people will shop, the bigger our customer base and the better our fundraising. This is critical in the next month or so, so that we get to the stage where we cover our costs (e.g. rent and power).
Please pray for this ministry and conisder how you can assist the mission by offering a few hours at Ascot Park. If you can do so, please speak to Greg or Wendy.
