A Giving Poem

Thank you for supporting the budget,

together we will reach our goal yet!

There’s a way to go but the end is in sight,

let the Lord move you with all of His might.

No matter your gender, race or age,

Mountainview ministries support life in any stage.

I’m running out of rhymes,

So please, please, please, give this time.

Greg Van Geest - Board Chair

UPCOMING OFFERING: 

June 28th – The Banner: Published by the CRCNA, The Banner magazine shows how the Christian faith in its Reformed expression makes sense for today's world. We believe that Jesus Christ calls us all to gratefully follow him in every area of life. That gives our daily living eternal significance and purpose. Whether we're addressing subjects like parenting, movies, politics, church ministries, or the society we live in, The Banner explores all such issues from the perspective of the good news that in Christ God is reconciling the world to himself. All who believe in Jesus are empowered by God's Spirit to serve as ambassadors of that reconciliation. The Banner is more than a magazine; it’s a ministry that impacts lives and connects us all. Your gift helps provide this important denominational gathering space for every person and family in the CRC. Thank you.

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.
