To all our members, friends and supporters,
Thanks to your generosity, our community had one of its most successful Giving Tuesday Campaigns on record! Donors from all over the world responded generously by contributing to Worldwide Mission Tithes in order to support the mission of Community of Christ.
Your generous giving coupled with the matching donation of $355,000 USD resulted in a grand total of $773,000 USD! Canada GAVE $45,730 (a record for giving to date for us). These dollars will be used to directly fund the mission of Community of Christ around the world.
Donations to Worldwide Mission Tithes help bring hope to people around the world! In 2020, contributions have supported:

• COVID-19 crisis relief and oblation aid, including $100,500 to Haiti, Africa, Nepal, India, and Central and South America and, a total of $63,614 in oblation aid in the United States.
• ·Ten chartered World Church teams with 136 members who provide guidance, advocacy, and education on Earth stewardship, diversity and inclusion, health and wholeness, spiritual formation, and peace and justice — among others.

With every donation, Facebook share, retweet, and Instagram post, you made our #GivingTuesday campaign a success!
Thank you for your valuable support and generosity!
 
With gratitude,
Kerry Richards
Canada East Mission Centre President
