Website now allows payment online

After a LONG day on Monday, I was able to set our website up to be able to accept payments online through Paypal. You do not need to have a paypal account to pay this way. Hope it is another benefit that helps out our families! Let me know if you have any problems with it!!!

So check it out.... www.steps-of-faith.com/payonline

WalkAThon was great!!!

Dear SOF Family,

Thanks to all of you who came out to the first annual WalkAThon Saturday! God moved the rain out just in time for our event! We have lots of great pics, including Ms. Tanya Rucker rollerblading!!!! We had about 50 people come out, despite the threat of rain. Special thanks to Ms. Tanya, Ms. Tonya, and Wes Moore for all their help that morning....

As of that day, we raised over $4000 for SOF and her dance ministries!!! Thank you all for "sowing a seed" into God's work at SOF! Congratulations to Lauren Veitch for raising the most money at $618, winning her the top prize! (Elizabeth and Mallory Ellington, and Katelyn Cameron also won top prizes!)

Thanks to all our local businesses who donated prizes: Tonsmiere Studios, DanceWearHouse, DMorgans, Jittery Joes, CenterStage, Open Door, Southern Exposure Tanning, Meg Pie! Be sure to thank them next time you are at their stores!

If you still have money to turn in, it is still not too late!! I know the weather and other commitments kept many of you away, and many more wanted to participate.

Again, THANK YOU to all of you for making this first year a HUGE success! We already have a lot of plans to make next year even bigger and better!

WalkAThon THIS SATURDAY

I am already hearing of great things about our WalkAThon this weekend. We have great prizes for the most money raised: 1st place is $250 gift certificate to Tonsmiere Studio, 2nd place is a $100 shopping spree at DanceWearHouse, and 3rd place is a $50 Dinner at D'Morgans!!! On top of that, we have LOTS of prizes for the day-of. So you need to participate to be eligible!! Many thanks to our local businesses for helping us out (includes Jittery Joes, CenterStage, and many more)!

Remember, this money is for our ministry work at SOF through our Dance Company and the studio. We have a goal of $10,000! (Tanya reaches for the stars!!), and if 100 people raise $100, it is possible!! I hear AnnaBeth Nida is already up at $170!!!

To get the coolest tshirt ever, remember to raise at least $25!

See you Saturday... Registration (turn in money) begins at 8:30, and the walk begins at 9am... all at Dellinger Park. The picnic following the walk will be "dutch treat", as we are saving the money raised for ministry.
