How to give to your church
Friends, giving financially is both an act of worship and a vital ministry. The best way to give to your church is through online giving. Whether via email transfer or Canada Helps. The instruction and link (in the case of Canada Helps) are on our church website. Alternatively, you can also mail checks to the church address: 6 Kilburn Place, Etobicoke, ON, M9R 2X5.
Your giving funds our local ministry including a food bank that feeds over 170 families in Etobicoke, support programs for the hurting (Divorce Care, Griefshare and more), mission partnerships in Europe, Southeast Asia, India and in Canada.

An outsider turns things right-side up.
Ruth served in humility;
she surrendered;
and so she was saved.
The Lessons
We are like Ruth in many ways.
Many of us today are outsiders living in an upside down world!
Things can turn right side up by trusting God.
Know God, surrender to God and serve God.
Humility and surrender remains the response God desires from us.
