Saturday March 15th.

Church to Sponsor Gas Discounts for Community
Murray Hill Baptist Church will sponsor an event to ease the pain inflicted at the pump by high gas prices. On March 15th, 2008, the “Gas Buy Down” will be held at the Kangaroo Express Gas Station located on the corner of Post St. and Edgewood Ave in Murray Hill. Beginning at 10a.m. the price of gas will be reduced by 50 cent per gallon for two hours. The gas prices will be reset to their original price at exactly 12:01p.m.
The discount will be limited to 15 gallons per customer in order to provide the discount to as many people as possible. The gas station will be set up as a ‘one way’ station; with the entrance on Edgewood Ave. and the exit on Post St/ Cypress St.
Kangaroo is pleased to partner with the church and in order to offer this unique price reduction to its customers. They will be providing free drinks to customers who purchase gas and will be having raffles throughout the two hours. The Kangaroo mascot will be present also, to give out balloons to children.

As a follow-up event, the church will be hosting a community wide Easter Egg Hunt the following Saturday, March 22nd, at Four Corners Park at the intersection of Lawnview and Lamboll in Murray Hill. An inflatable bounce house, egg dying and other Easter arts and crafts will be available for the children following the egg hunt. The event will last from 10a.m. to 11a.m.
“We want to be so much more than a place to gather on Sunday mornings. We want to make a difference in our community each day of the week. This is just one way of sharing God’s unconditional love with our neighbors,” says Doug Axtell, Pastor of Murray Hill Baptist Church.
Murray Hill Baptist Church is located at 4300 Post St. and has Sunday morning services at 10:30a.m."
