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: Calvinist Cadet Corps. The Calvinist Cadet Corps is an independent youth ministry organization whose purpose is to provide churches with a ministry program that enables them to share Christ’s love with boys in their church and community. Funds are used to support this ministry with materials for education and program activities. (This season’s theme is ‘AMAZING’, based on Joshua 3:5. Thus far, the West End CRC Cadets have enjoyed a busy season of activities, both at church & off-site. Many of the Cadets also looking forward to participating in the upcoming International Camporee taking place in Ontario this July.
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.
