Fun with a purpose

In keeping with the festivities, the Indian Church of Christ is proud to present the "Grand Winter Carnival" on December 7, 2008 at Kamla Nehru College, Khel Gaon Marg, (next to Gargi college). It's a time for Delhites to come together for a day of fun, food, games,contests and much more. The carnival will also have an exciting auction and stalls for garments, toys, consumer durables etc. A special band of musicians will add zest to the event.

The carnival is also an opportunity for you to contribute for a noble cause.

Over the last few years, the Delhi Church of Christ has set up churches in Chandigarh, Lucknow, and Bhubaneshwar with the goal to spread God's word in these cities. God has been working powerfully in these cities (and in other parts of India). Many lives have been transformed. If you are a member of the congregation, you know how God has changed your life. This is a chance for you to touch someone's life and help them experience the wonderful joy of entering into a relationship with God.

The proceeds of the carnival will be used to support our churches in Chandigarh, Lucknow, and Bhubaneshwar.

So, lets have fun with a purpose!
