UPCOMING OFFERING:
May 31st – Benevolence - Refugee Sponsorship: Mountainview has a long history of sponsoring refugee families. World Renew has submitted paperwork to Immigration Canada on behalf of the Deacons to sponsor the Said family, originally from Somalia. Five adults in the family were forced to flee to Uganda after their farm was taken from them by a rival tribe and immediate family members were murdered. Our goal is to relocate the Said family out of the refugee camp and into a new life in Canada. Mountainview must provide proof that all required funds for sponsorship (approximately $90,000) are held in trust before representatives from Immigration Canada interview the family in the spring or early summer. (The funds will be paid out for resettlement over a one-year period). Approximately $60,000.00 has been raised to date, thanks to Mountainview’s previous donations, a $15,000 commitment from relatives living in Hamilton, and a significant contribution from Riverside CRC in Wellandport. We are confident that our love for God and our neighbour will move and inspire us to raise the remaining funds needed to begin the work that will change the life of the Said family. The Mountainview Deacons, together with the Said family, thank you for your generous support.
Gratitude Giving from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day - From Mother’s Day to Father’s Day we hope you will join us in our special campaign giving honour to mothers, fathers, omas, opas, grandmas, grandpas, aunts or uncles, or a loved one. We invite you to take part in our Blooms of Honour, a campaign dedicated to enhancing our courtyard through the creation of more accessible seating areas in our existing gardens at Shalom Grimsby and/or the new courtyard in Faithstone Hamilton.
As a symbol of honour, the name of a parent, grandparent or friend can be written on a paper tulip in recognition of the gifts received. These tulips will adorn the glass windows to form our “Garden of Honour”. Thank you for your support.
