Jan 11, 2021 | 8:58 AM

MERRITT, B.C. — The Murray Church Fundraising Challenge goal was to raise $15,000 by January 11, 2021, two years since the arson which destroyed the historic church.

“With matching funding, we have reached that goal,” announced Richie Gage. “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.”

With the funds now raised to rebuild what was the oldest building in the Nicola Valley, Gage provided Q101 with an update on the construction.
