Win a 1 of 1 golf cart with Altona YFC this Summer
Winning a golf cart would already be a pretty nice addition to Summer but winning a 1 of 1 golf cart would be even better!
"We are raffling our custom golf cart! This past year we had this golf cart project in our Makerspace workshop. This project was largely completed by our youth and volunteers. This raffle will help cover the costs of YFC programs and projects (such as our Makerspace) so that all youth in our community can take part in YFC Altona programs completely free."
'Divine Flourishing': Church conference encourages the masses
Over 50 people gathered at Immanuel Fellowship for the first night of their Young Adult and Prime Adult Conference. The conference will continue through the rest of this weekend and is free to attend with registration.

Judah's current single 'If I Die Tomorrow' is spinning on Country 106.1 right now, as well as seven other radio stations in Canada and one in the United States. You can stream it now on:
