You are invited to the Tenth Annual Cross Trails Ministry…
Gift of Faith Gala!
Cross Trails Ministry is committed to making sure that no one misses out on camp because of the cost. Thanks to the huge success of our Gala last year and wonderful donors, we were able to cover all of our 2021 campership requests with the funds raised!
Due to increased staffing and materials costs over the past few years, we did have to raise our fees more than initially expected. However, we are still committed to keeping camp as affordable as possible for as many as possible, and we don’t want anyone to miss out because of cost. Your participation in this year’s event is even more important than it has ever been to make camp available for all that want to attend.
Help Us Spread the Word
This year’s Gift of Faith Gala will be held as a hybrid event. There will be a gathering at Ebert Ranch and tickets can be purchased for the in-person event. This event will be held on Saturday, March 12th from 5-9 pm. There will be great food, music, entertainment, live and silent auctions, and safe fellowship. You are invited to come and enjoy a wonderful time while you help to keep camp affordable for everyone! If you can’t make the event, there is also the option to participate online from the comforts of your homes beginning March 6th.
