TTU Football Fundraiser: TTU v. SFA - Saturday, September 11 - One of the ways that Canterbury supports our ministry is through a variety of fundraisers each year. Please sign up for these fundraisers so that we can have funds to go on trips and do fun things. Today, we will be selling parking for the football game. We will meet at Canterbury two hours before kick-off and will finish up just after kick-off. You will still have plenty of time to go to the game. If you are helping, please make sure to prepare for the weather. Hot days can be really hot, so make sure to bring a hat, sun screen, water, and cool clothes. On cold days, make sure to bring jacket and arrive early so that you can make some hot chocolate, tea, or coffee to keep you warm. Time: TBA
