SAD DAY WHEN PEOPLE STEAL FROM A CHURCH. FLAGS (and POLES!) STOLEN LAST WEEK 🙁

Please help in replacement costs! Flags Stolen From Maple Ridge Church 🙁

The Bruce James Orchestra is raising money to benefit Golden Ears United Church to obtain new Pride and Transgender flags which were stolen this week – only a month after the church became Affirming. This church generously shares its space with our Big Band when we need rehearsal space and asks only our friendship and music in return. They always help us … it is our turn to help them. Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause.
