Focus On Our Future Mission – Commitment Form

As a community of faith, Cole Harbour Woodside United Church reaches out to our congregation and the wider community through the many ministries in which we participate. Your contributions help to fund such things as Sunday School and Youth Programming, pastoral care through Pastoral Care Team, Prison Ministry, Worship at local long-term care facilities and funeral ministries, as well as many other ministries as part of our mission of ‘Offering the Care and Comfort of Christ’. Your offering supports the work of our Unified Board and Committees to maintain our building and support our staff. In recent years, together we dreamed of adding a half-time Associate Minister to our ministry team.

To fulfill these dreams, you have given generously of your time, your talent and your treasure, and we thank you. To enable us to continue the amazing ministries we have, requires a financial commitment from all of us.

By using this Commitment Form (link below to printable document), you are letting us know we can depend on your ongoing support so that we can budget for 2019 Mission and Ministry expenses. We are asking you to increase your offering to Local Expenses in 2019 and in following years.

This year, Cole Harbour Woodside United Church is hosting World Day of Prayer service 01 March at 7:00pm.

At the core of the theme for WDP 2019, an invitation – Come. And to enable the response – Everything is ready. Come to praise, thank, and proclaim the kingdom of love.

The invitation is grounded in the parable that Jesus told about a great dinner which was attended by the ones called off the streets, as the ones invited excused themselves. The community formed around the table is not enough to fill the house – there is still room. Who are missing from the table in your community?

The artist, Rezka Arnuš, wanted to present two topics with her artwork pictured on the right. The country of Slovenia and the main biblical story of the worship service. At the top there are women dressed in national traditional costumes. The semicircular ornament with Slovenian folk embroidery represents a plate or a table with their best known national dish – potica – and grapes from various wine producing vineyards. Partly under the table, one can see the children from the margins of the society. They heard the invitation to the feast. The red and white colors used reflect Slovenian folk embroidery.

The green background color emphasizes the green Slovenia, fields and forests. The warm colors of children express the joy of heartfelt invitation.
