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. The call to ‘make disciples of all nations’ is not just about places further away, it begins where we are. A few years ago we were introduced to the Bridge Church, a church plant of our Classis in Fort Saskatchewan. Since then we have formed a partnership with them that goes both ways in terms of encouragement and support. Part of that includes financial support and next week we will have our second of three regular offering this year for our ‘outreach’ ministry with the Bridge. There will be a video about the Bridge shared during the offering time this morning. Find out more at: https://www.bridgechurch.ca/. You can put your gift in the baskets at the exits, or give online at https://www.westendcrc.ca/donate/. Be sure to make your cheque out to WECRC and write The Bridge on the memo line.
NEXT WEEK: Diaconate. Deacons are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus, administering the mercy of Christ to all people. Our in-house Diaconate (Benevolence) funds are used to provide assistance to those in need, both in our own congregation and our community. The Deacons are grateful for these monies that enable us to help individuals and organizations in our church, our community and beyond.
