Rec Min Message May 2025

Dear Recreation Ministry Participants,

We want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for choosing our facility as a part of your fitness and faith journey. Whether you're attending fitness classes, walking on the indoor track, playing basketball, pickleball, working out in the fitness room, or have children participating in C-Sports, we are truly blessed to have you with us.

In the early 2000s, our church had a vision: to create a Recreation Ministry that would reach people through faith based uplifting activities that strengthen the body and promote overall personal growth. By God’s grace, that vision has blossomed into a ministry now serving over 5,000 people. We are so grateful for the past 21 years of ministry and the many lives it has touched.

Thanks to the generosity of our church member family and faithful participants like you, we've been able to offer many of our resources—including the fitness room, walking track, and several exercise classes—at little or no cost. As we move through our 21st year, we find ourselves needing to update, repair, or replace some of our equipment in the facility. Since we operate on a zero-based budget, your support can make all the difference in helping us meet these needs.

If you are not a church member, or not already contributing, would you prayerfully consider committing to a regular donation to help sustain and grow this ministry? Contributions can be made online at https://christunitedcsports.com/donations, mail (attn: Recreation Ministry - Christ United Church, 6101 Grelot Road, Mobile AL 36609), and we accept cash, check, debit and or credit cards in person at the rec desk. We also have a donation box near the sign-in desk if you wish to donate anonymously. In addition, we’d be glad to help you set up monthly automatic giving if that’s easier.

Thank you in advance for your consideration in contributing to this ministry and for being part of our Recreation Ministry family. We’re so glad to see you each week and look forward to all the ways we’ll continue growing together, providing you with a facility and programming that fits your needs.

Blessings,
Marcia K. Gibney,
Director of Recreation Ministry
