The Think Big £50 Challenge

Our Think Big campaign has so far seen a great response, with many in the church giving generously and sacrificially. Up to this point we've generally avoided organising specific fundraising events. Partly this is because we wanted to give God the opportunity to see what he could do in us, but also it's partly because we recognise that it's all too easy for it to end up with the same people being asked to turn up and give to the same event.

However, the summer is a great time to be running fundraising events and for those of you who are living elsewhere for the summer (e.g. students) it's a great chance to raise money outside of regular OHers.

So we're asking people in OH to try and raise £50 towards the Think Big project this summer. It might be a car wash, or a sponsored event; a quiz or selling something. You could do it on your own, as a family or with a group of friends.And if you can raise more than £50 then so much the better.

Here are a few ideas to get the creative juices flowing, but feel free to do whatever you want:

  • 24-Hour Football Match
  • Swim a Marathon in a Month
  • Sponsored Cycle Ride
  • Sing-a-thon
  • Fastest Round of Golf
  • Dinner Party
  • Wine Tasting
  • Pub-Styled Quiz
  • Coffee Morning
  • Pancake Party
  • Car Wash
  • Sponsored Quiz
  • Grow Plants From Seeds
  • Create some Art to Sell
  • Make Jam or Chutney
  • Make Cards/Cakes
  • Cut hair/massage/Make-Over
  • Auction of Promises
  • Bring and Buy Sale
  • Musical performance
  • Wii Tournament
Here's to a great summer!
