The Christmas Offering

Some of you thought about giving.
Then you git busy and forgot.
But it's not too late!

Our goal is $15,000.
We're not there.

Please prayerful consider making a contribution before the year is done.
Send a cheque to Connections Church, 531 Talbot St. London ON N6A2S5.
Donate Online.
Or bring with you this Sunday to worship.

Here's the scoop:
We are in holding pattern at Connections.
We are making rent for our theatre.
The pastor is getting paid.
We are able to run our programs.
We are giving a tithe (10%) missions.
We have saved up some reserves.


But we need to bump up our giving to take things to the next level.

We believe a Ministry Centre is part of the next level.  This will help move us from the theatre, Labatt Hall and our homes (all awesome things which we want to continue) into the community.  A ministry center becomes a tangible way for our church to say, "We are here and we want tot be a part of our community."
It will allows us to start hiring staff and actually give them a place to work.
It will give our groups an alternative place to meet.
It will give our worship team a place to jam and have fun.
It will give us a place to store all our donated paper products for distribution to the city.

And it will give us a chance to partner with other individuals and businesses to create a "Net-Zero" centre for discipleship and mission.
Remember, the vision for this ministry is to create a cost-sharing model that will continue to free up all our funds for staff and mission!

We are praying for $15,000 to offset the costs of opening the Ministry Centre.
Please give.
