SORRENTO TRACTOR UPDATE

Tractor Auction
With the addition of the Sorrento Centre Farm property we are now responsible for maintaining over 30 acres of land that includes roads, lawns, forest trails and a working farm.

In order to efficiently manage our grounds and farm production we need a tractor. This tractor will help us do jobs including mowing, tilling, snow plowing, trench digging and moving large materials.

We successfully raised over $24,000 for our tractor fund during the 2010 and 2011 seasons through generous donations from many of our friends and associates as well as with raffles, a grant and our on-line auction [see auction here »]

We are inspired and excited at this tremendous show of support for the Sorrento Centre Farm!

How we grow: Partnerships - Building Community Together

Sorrento Centre has always had partners in ministry. Together with groups who have similar values, we have reached out to create leaders in our communities.

The Quakers, the Pentecostal Assemblies of BC, and the BC Bluegrass Workshops are groups we have been in partnership with. Anglican Dioceses and the National Church have joint ventured many educational programs with us. Partnerships is how we continue to grow.

In recent years we have initiated partnership programs with parishes in Alberta and British Columbia. The parish takes charge of programming and its delivery for a whole summer week. It has been a tremendous success and we are pleased to welcome some parishes back for successive years.

Our partnerships have included the parishes of

  • Christ Church Cathedral, Victoria - website »
  • The Cathedral Church of St. Michael and All Angel's, Kelowna - website »
  • St. Martin’s, Calgary - website »
  • Saint George the Martyr, Cadboro Bay - website »
