Offering Details for December 2024
December 1st A.M. – Cairn Christian School: 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.
December 8th A.M. – Grimsby Benevolent Fund: Your contribution will help provide people who are at a disadvantage to obtain food, clothing, and emergency assistance. GBF Community Services assists individuals and households in meeting their basic needs. Through our programs, we have been helping the Grimsby community in achieving self-sufficiency for more than 56 years. This care is provided by donors and volunteers. Please give generously to help those who are in need in your community.
December 15th A.M. – The Bridge – Steve De Boer (Niagara Falls): An inner-city mission in a neglected area of Niagara Falls, the Bridge exists for the "placeless" of the city - the invisible, unseen ones of our society. In partnership with Third Space Cafe, The Bridge serves a nutritious breakfast every day to 50 - 75 people living on the streets, in tents, abandoned buildings, and under-serviced motels. More than a breakfast-service provider, The Bridge seeks to be a community of support and connection, working collaboratively with the City, Region, faith communities, businesses, not-for-profits, and people of peace who have a heart for homelessness, and compassion for the issues connected to it.

December 22nd P.M. – Resonate Global Mission Formerly Christian Reformed World Missions and Christian Reformed Home Missions, we came together in 2017 as Resonate to walk alongside CRCs as they join God’s mission in their own neighborhoods and around the world.
We do this by planting churches and supporting ministry in North America as well as sending missionaries around the globe to share the good news. But sending people is only part of God’s plan for your congregation. Your church partners with Resonate as you join God’s mission in your own neighborhood and around the world. Resonate is here to walk alongside you in preparing missionaries and volunteers, calling and supporting church planters and campus ministers, connecting with ministries overseas, engaging church members and younger generations in mission work, and following the Spirit by discerning new ways to demonstrate and proclaim the gospel. Together, we help build God’s church.
