Faith Reaching Out

Church Work in Durham (CWID)
The Church Work in Durham Committee works hard to increase awareness of and encourage contributions of goods, food, labour and money to organizations or agencies addressing special needs within the local community.  The CWID operates with its own budget for which you will find a line on offering envelopes.  This busy committee collects donations for more than a dozen social agencies in the area. Contact: Larry Bignell at 905-728-7749

Mission and Service
The Mission and Service Committee focuses and educates the congregation regarding projects and social issues supported by the United Church of Canada’s national Mission and Service Fund.  This fund supports projects of local, national and global scope.  The Committee at Faith United sets the financial support goal and lets the congregation know what the United Church is doing at home and abroad.  Responsibility is taken on a few Sundays for special speakers and information.  Minutes for Mission are shared with the congregation.  Information regarding social justice issues such as residential schools, child poverty and refugee work is shared.
