The Collingsworth Tour – CANCELLED

collingsworth family

After prayerful consideration, the board of directors of Canada’s Gospel Music Association has decided to cancel the Collingsworth Family Spring “Mercy & Love Tour 2022” due to difficulties and restrictions arising from the pandemic.

For the past 14 years CGMA has brought first class, spirit filled experiences to Canada despite struggles with high exchange rates and other increasing expenses. Often, they had to subsidize these events. They would sincerely appreciate your prayer support as they make vital decisions about their future at this time.

Two Options

If you purchased advance tickets, please prayerfully consider these options:

  1. DONATE your ticket cost to the CGMC RECOVERY FUND. Please indicate your intention to donate to the ticket seller, along with the ticket numbers. Your help would be so very much appreciated!
  2. RETURN your ticket to where you purchased it, providing the physical ticket with your request for refund. (Service charges will not be refunded.)

Please Note: The above offer will expire February 28, 2022

Give a gift.
Touch a life.

The Glen Elm Church of Christ is again facilitating the Regina Christmas Wish List – an opportunity for  citizens of Regina to express care and compassion during the Christmas season.

The project works like this:

  • Local organizations, working with the impoverished and marginalized of our city, identify individuals and families within their circles, and create concise stories which are posted to the website.
  • Caring citizens read these stories, pledge gifts, and purchase the items they have pledged (new items only), which they then deliver to Glen Elm Church of Christ (1825 Rothwell St., Regina) by 4:00 p.m. on December 18.
  • The gifts are forwarded on to the partnering organizations, who place them in the hands of the clients they identified.
  • Everyone has a merrier Christmas!

To join in, visit Regina Christmas Wish List. All support is greatly appreciated!
