Offering Schedule for January 2023
January 1st A.M. – Shalom Manor & Gardens is a special Christian, non-profit long-term care home and retirement centre, serving seniors mostly of Dutch descent who belong to the community of Reformed faiths. Limited government funding does not allow the services our seniors require that meet our expectations and standards. Your gifts will enhance immediate resident care, programs, and debt load.
January 8th A.M. – Benevolence: Your contribution to Mountainview’s Benevolent Fund provides assistance for those in need in our church family and in our local community. These include basic needs such as food, clothing, housing and schooling. A church and community of our size has many varied needs within it. Please continue to support our ministry of Benevolence.
January 15th A.M. – ReFrame Ministries (formerly Back To God Minsitries Int’l) is the media ministry of the CRCNA. When you partner with us you are using the reach of media to:
· Share the Gospel in 10 languages: We partner with local, on-the-ground ministries in all of the places and languages in which we operate. Each ministry leader has a team of staff and volunteers who do the important work of sharing the Gospel in their own language and cultural context
· Disciple believers: Our work doesn’t stop with spreading the gospel. Following the example of Christ, our teams seek to build long-term, discipling relationships with the people we meet.
· Strengthen the local church: We believe the Holy Spirit works through the church, so we partner with churches to build and strengthen the body of Christ. English ministries include the following: Today, Family Fire, Groundwork, Think Christian, Kids Corner and Church Juice.
Your gift is reaching people from remote villages in Indonesia to large universities in China. Every dollar you send will provide new video recording tools for social media, airtime for television or radio stations, and follow-up discipleship for seekers or new believers. It is changing communities all over the world.
January 22nd A.M. – Our Cairn Christian School sites in Smithville and Stoney Creek work to inspire students to love, learn, and lead together in God's world. This offering provides vital support in achieving this mission, enabling students and families the opportunity to access an amazing Christian Education, and communicates our love for their students.
January 29th A.M. – Cadets is a program for boys 9-14 years of age. The ministry of cadets is to teach the boys to learn more about God and respond to the world around them in a Christ-centered way. This is done through activities such as Bible study, badge work, crafts, games, campouts and league activities. Your donations help us to mentor and nurture boys in our church and surrounding community, in their walk with God.
