Donations
Hillhurst is in the middle of its annual stewardship campaign. If you would like to support the work of Hillhurst United, we welcome your donations and pledges.
John's Letter to the Congregation Letter from the Stewardship Committee 2009 Pledge CardIf you have not received a package, please review the following material, and forward your pledge card to

Why should we support Hillhurst financially? Well, for
starters,
we alone are responsible for providing the funds that keep Hillhurst
running – there is no one else who provides for this community -- no
‘head office’ that gives us cash!
More importantly, ask yourselves how your participation in this
community has transformed your life. Have you been moved by,
and
grown spiritually through attendance at regular Sunday services or
special services such as “Cool in the Furnace’, Easter, our
Anniversary, Thanksgiving, or Christmas? What about evening programmes
like Wine and Spirituality, Building Healthy Relationships, Saving
Jesus and so many more? If you are a ‘web attendee’, are you
inspired by John’s sermons recorded and uploaded to our
website?
Have you been comforted through the ministry of Pastoral Care, been
challenged to live differently by our Outreach group? Warmed
and
encouraged by our guests and volunteers of Inn from the Cold? Do you
love to sit in this gracious old building which needs a lot of care?
Listen to this fabulous pipe organ? Making all these things happen
takes money and effort.
Each of us has our own gifts. Some have money; some have
talents
of time and skill. Whatever each of us has been given by the
grace of God, let us share it with one another and the larger world
through our gifts to Hillhurst.
Some of the ways you can contribute:
- Cash on Sunday (not
a
great way because you don't receive a tax receipt! And... it
also
depends on you being here 52 weeks a year, and no one can do that!)
- Post-dated monthly cheques... (much appreciated)
- Pre-Authorized Remittance (your gift is there even if you
are not)
- Visa, Mastercard, or American Express (frequent flier points plus
rewards in heaven)
Your constant gift of any amount means we can pay our bills 12 months
of the year.
Our goals for this year can be found in our 2009
budget.
