This Christmas season, we invite you to consider contributing to a special Christmas Offering throughout December, in addition to your regular giving.

GOAL: $35,000

Deadling to Give: December 31, 2025

This Christmas season, we are excited to partner locally and globally to make a meaningful impact in our community and around the world. Our 2025 Christmas Offering will support two key initiatives, along with an ongoing commitment to reduce our church mortgage.

1. Lesotho Foster Homes - $10,000

We are partnering with Bracelet of Hope to provide brand-new closets for the five foster homes they support in Lesotho.

  • These new closets will be built by a program graduate, supporting both the children and the local economy.

  • We hope this amount will also allow us to fill the new cupboards with clothing and Christmas gifts for the children.

2. Royal City Mission - $16,000 Total

Drop-In & Meal Program - $11,000

Your generosity will fund one full week of Royal City Mission’s drop-in and daily meal program, which provides essential food, support, and connection for vulnerable neighbours in our city.

“Clean Streets” Employment Readiness Program - $5,000

This will fully sponsor two participants in the Clean Streets program, providing job readiness training, hands-on experience, and the opportunity for long-term stability.

3. Church Mortgage Reduction - $9,000

We are committed to reducing our church’s mortgage, strengthening our financial health and supporting future ministry.

How to Give

You’re invited to prayerfully consider contributing to this year’s special Christmas Offering. Your generosity will bring care, dignity, and hope to children in Lesotho, neighbours here in Guelph, and the future ministry of our church.
