| Ark and Dove Presbyterian Breaking Ground Golf Tournament |
Ark & Dove Presbyterian Church's goal is
to raise enough funds to complete the full renovation of a home in Severn, Maryland
in 2013. With the funds from this tournament and those already raised or pledged by Ark & Dove and its partner churches, your generosity will bridge the gap and ensure this home will be completed.
"Along with several churches, Ark and Dove has lead the charge in building a house in West County. We are so grateful for their investment, and I'm sure they will tell you too, we hope this challenges and inspires others to give of their time, energy and resources as well in our collective mission." - Matthew Herzberg
To register as a team and/or sponsor, please complete and return
the registration form to Ark and Dove Presbyterian Church.
