UPCOMING OFFERINGS

UPCOMING OFFERING: April 26th – Diaconal Ministries Canada (DMC) - NewGround: What if every church was known as the heartbeat of its neighbourhood—not for its building, but for the love and generosity of its people? At NewGround, we believe every community holds untapped potential— gifts to be shared, stories to be told, and hope to be nurtured. For over 50 years, NewGround has partnered with churches, ministries, and grassroots initiatives across Canada to uncover that potential. By equipping and walking alongside leaders, we help churches move beyond their walls, build on community strengths, and be part of God’s lasting work of restoration. When you give to NewGround, you empower your sister congregations and support diverse Christian ministries that bring justice, mercy, and hope to communities.

You’re Invited to Cairn Christian School's 2026 Board Dinner,  Woven Together - Join us on April 25 at Smithville CRC for an inspiring evening celebrating how God is weaving our school community together in faith, learning, and love. Our annual Board Dinner will feature a delicious meal, meaningful stories from our community, and a plant sale (details soon!). It’s a special opportunity to gather, give thanks, and invest in the continued growth of our school. Reserve your tickets here! Would you consider partnering with us as a sponsor? Details here! We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful night together!

You are making a difference! On behalf of the ministries of the Christian Reformed Church in North America, thank you for your gifts to ministry shares. Your support enables congregations to do so much more to further God's Kingdom than any one church could do alone. Our denomination could not impact the world through missions, media, and church development without your incredible and faithful support. Thank you! To discover more visit crcna.org/ministryshares.
