Together, we can create a meaningful and lasting impact!  By Sam Smalldon, Bishop of Canada
As we approach Giving Tuesday on December 3, 2024, let’s remember our commitment to support our 2024 Worldwide Mission Tithes (WMT) Budget. Our 2024 annual budget for the WMT Budget funded by Canada is approved at $1,222,270, and as of September 30, 2024, investment returns continue to buoy finances, resulting in total revenues tracking above budget on a year-to-date basis. Expenditures are tracking slightly above the year-to-date budget, but overall, at the end of our third quarter in 2024, we have a positive year-to-date financial position. It’s important to note that this positive result year-to-date is primarily due to the fact that our investments have performed very well so far this year. ‘Giving’ year-to-date in 2024 is only 45% of the budget for WMT. Historically, WMT contributions are received more heavily near the end of the fiscal year. In the past two years, we received upwards of 30% of the annual ‘giving’ budget during the final quarter of the fiscal year. While we promote ‘giving’ throughout the year, we are hopeful for an even stronger response in 2024. Giving Tuesday on December 3, 2024, provides a special opportunity for WMT contributions to be matched, so let’s make the most of this opportunity. We encourage everyone to be generous in supporting the initiatives funded by WMT, which include projects for the Canadian Mission, Multination Mission, Discipleship Formation, and Abolishing Poverty and Ending Suffering. Together, we can reach our goals and make a lasting impact. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to the mission of the Community of Christ in Canada.  On Tuesday, Dec. 3, join us in putting Hope in Action by participating in Giving Tuesday. With your support and thanks to a matching donation of $200,000 USD, Worldwide Mission Tithes can have double the impact when you join members and friends from around the world in giving.
Together, we can help seekers find a spiritual home, nurture new leaders and disciples, provide clean water and food for those in need, and share resources like the Daily Bread and Sunday School materials. Your generosity will touch lives and bring hope where it’s needed most. For details on how to give in Canada, please visit our Giving Tuesday page. Next Tuesday, let’s come together to help share God’s love with the world.  Giving Tuesday puts Hope in Action by supporting Oblation and World Hunger projects that supply fresh water and food, education for girls, and empowerment for women, fostering self sufficiency. Your generosity also helps to provide support for those impacted by global warming. Examples of your contributions at work can be found here.
On December 3rd, join us in supporting Worldwide Mission Tithes, where every dollar you give will be doubled, thanks to a generous $200,000 USD matching donation.
