Mission & Service

Gifts with Vision
Don't know what to giveto  that special someone in your life?
This year you can purchase gifts that show your family and friends how much
you care, gifts that make them feel great, gifts that help change the world.
The United Church of Canada has created its own “Giving Catalogue”.
In a world where many don't have access to the basic elements of life,
imagine the benefits possible from a gift of medicine and health care ,
a gift of clear water, a gift of schooling for children,
a gift of seeds and tools to grow next year's food,
or a gift that provides programming and support.
Through a gift given to a friend or family member you can help others.
You can support our global partners as we seek to create healthy
places to live, promote justice, provide social services and enliven worship.
For more information speak to The Rev. Michelle.

In over 80 years, the church has made a difference in the world because of gifts to the Missionary and Maintenance Fund, now called the Mission and Service Fund. Many people in our society and in this community are marginalized and feel disconnected, disenfranchised, or alienated. Mission and Service funded projects say, "Here is a place for you. You belong and are welcome. You are a valued child of God." M&S puts our faith into action. Today, many face difficult and trying times. The Mission and Service Fund finances work that brings spiritual guidance and support to people where they live their daily lives-in drop-in centres, food banks, coffee shops, hospitals, universities, and places of worship. This is a tangible expression of our faith. We are not alone. Through the Mission and Service Fund, we are able to take a long-term and far-sighted view of our world. The work of our partners throughout the world focuses on today and tomorrow. Through the Mission and Service Fund, we can provide resources, planning, and hope that will help others grow and flourish well into the future. We do make a difference.
