Wellspring has enjoyed a rich relationship with Hope of Life International for over two decades, joining in service to the people of Guatemala. In 2018 we started a golf tournament to help fund both mission team members fees and projects in the community. Last year we were able to hold our tournament, after a two year hiatus due to Covid restrictions, and the result was beyond our expectations. This coming Sunday May 7th we will be sharing what we were able to accomplish in Guatemala, as a congregation, with last year’s proceeds.

Unfortunately, for the past three years we have been unable to travel to Guatemala, but we are still engaging in our work there and we would be honored to have you join us in our continued efforts to raise funds. Our goal is to raise money for a service project there later this year.  Our sincere hope is that we will be there to accomplish the project with a team from Wellspring in the late fall.

What we will do will be directly dependent on how much money we are able to raise. At the golf tournament, there will be raffles, a 50/50 raffle, and other fun activities.  The cost per golfer is $150 which includes 18 holes of golf, breakfast and lunch.  The lunch banquet is $50 for those not golfing.

The golf tournament will be held on Saturday May 20th at Hawk’s Landing Country Club in Southington.  Registration and breakfast start at 8 am. Shotgun start at 9 am.  Buffet lunch at 2 pm.

This is where you can get involved.

· If you are a golfer, please consider playing in the tournament.
· If you are not a golfer, then join us for the lunch and participate in the raffles.
· If you can’t make this date, but still want to help, consider donating a raffle prize or sponsoring a hole.

If you are unable to participate in any of these ways remember we have our year-round fundraiser of collecting returnable cans and bottles to benefit their medical rescue program where you can assist. Every activity will help us meet our goal!
