Dear Pastor, Staff, and Church Leaders,

Greetings from the Canadian Southern Baptist Seminary & College.  I hope this letter finds you doing well.  We continue to be excited about what God is doing at our Seminary and College.  God has given us a wonderful and diverse student body committed to taking the good news across Canada and to the tough places.  We appreciate your prayers for the Seminary family.

We are writing this letter on behalf of our students to ask your church to participate in a “kids helping kids” project to improve our playground facilities.  We have a wonderful Seminary family with over seventy-five children in our seminary faculty, staff, and student family.

There are two projects we would like to implement for the children and families.  First, we would like to purchase and install new playground equipment that is age appropriate, safe, and useable.  We have a new and beautiful location set up for our playground, but we desperately need new equipment for the kids.  Second, we would like to build a kid-friendly indoor facility.  Because of the long winters, we need a simple structure that is lit, heated, and a good play area for kids.

Project Proposal:   We would like to ask “the kids” of the Canadian National Baptist Churches to help us purchase new playground equipment.  If churches would commit to give their summer VBS Offering, we could literally put up a new playground!  If your church does not have a VBS, it could be a project for a Sunday School class, Kids Club, a recycling drive, or similar events.

Wouldn’t it be great to say that the kids of the CNBC built a playground for the kids at the Canadian Southern Baptist Seminary?  We would like do this project without asking churches to put this in their budget or seeking outside support.  We believe that this is something our kids can do!  Would your church take part in this project in 2009? 

To participate, please download the filable PDF form and send it by email to partnership@csbs.ca.  We will send you posters, pictures, information about the kids at our Seminary, and a prayer guide that will help you promote this project.

Thank you so much for your partnership in ministry!
