Dear

We at Trinity Church Lower Earley are raising funds so that we can improve the church building.  In particular, we need to make it more welcoming, provide better disabled access, have a designated place for prayer and improve our facilities for offering hospitality.  Our plans are available for inspection in the church.

At Trinity Church , we have always had a strong tradition of supporting Third World projects and this building project is no exception.  Ten per cent of everything we raise for the Trinity Church Buildings Fund will be donated to Kagando Hospital in Western Uganda towards building a better, more secure guest house for visiting medical staff.

We have decided to hold a ‘Sponsored Bible Read’ in the church.  Volunteer readers will read the complete Old and New Testaments non-stop, starting at 9.30 am on Tuesday 16^th May 2006 .  It is expected to take approximately three and a half days.

I am volunteering to partake and would like to ask you to sponsor me. 

Could I ask you to let me know if you are willing to sponsor me and for how much?  The money will be collected on the completion of the task.  Our target is a minimum of £5,000.  All cheques should be made payable to ‘Trinity Church Buildings Fund’ please.

The church will be open for the whole time and sponsors, friends, etc are most welcome to come and listen.  Refreshments will be on sale.

I do hope you don’t mind me approaching you.
