Rev. Elaine Diggle does the official groundbreaking of the Murray Church rebuild back in October 2020.
The Murray Church rebuild project has officially reached its fundraising goals.
Jan. 11 marks the second anniversary since the historic church was destroyed by arson. The goal was to raise $15,000 by this date, which would be used to build a replica of the church at its original site.
“The Murray Church Fundraising Challenge goal was to raise $15,000.00 by Jan 11, 2021, two years since the arson fire destroyed the historic church,” said spokesperson Richie Gage.
“With matching funding, we have reached that goal. The Trinity United Church congregation, Church Board, Trustees and The Murray Church Fundraising Committee wish to offer our thanks and appreciation to all the donors in the Nicola Valley and surrounding communities.”
