OFFERINGS
At WECRC we believe Christians are called to be generous with the resources God has entrusted to us. We are inspired to give freely of ourselves, our time, our talents and our treasures as the visible expression of our love for God and each other. During this period of COVID-19 we encourage you to continue tithing and steady giving, recognizing that some of you will be hard hit financially in this difficult time. May God provide.
TODAY: Mission Support – The Bridge Church. The call to ‘make disciples of all nations’ is not just about places further away, it begins where we are. Almost 2 years ago we were introduced to the Bridge Church, a church plant of our Classis (grouping of CRC churches in north AB) in Fort Saskatchewan. Since then we have formed a partnership with the Bridge that goes both ways in terms of encouragement and support, including financial support. www.bridgechurch.ca.
Next Week: West End Ministries: Our West End Ministries (Budget) offerings support all local, denominational and classical ministries, and include staff, administration and building expenses. We are grateful for ongoing, faithful pastoral and staff leadership and the ability to worship in person and on livestream. May God continue to lead us in faithful giving back to him this year. Information on giving options can be found at: www.westendcrc.ca/donate/.
