10-10-80 and Our Outreach Projects

WHAT OUR CHURCH WILL DO: Our Church will now be Tithing to God’s work in the world just as God asks us all to Tithe from our own income to further His work in the World. Instead of having each Outreach project team do a direct appeal, promotion or fundraiser we are setting aside the first 10% of all the money that comes in each and every Sunday morning for Outreach. These funds will be divided amongst all of our Outreach projects according to a formula that roughly reflects the level of financial support that has been available to each project through fundraising initiatives in the past. There may still be some fundraisers – because they are just so darn much fun and build our sense of community – but the proceeds from any fundraisers will also be divided amongst all projects according to the formula.

WHY: We are on a journey of transition to a new way of supporting our Outreach projects this year. Our desire is to see all of our partnerships and commitments
supported thoroughly and well so that the goals and plans for these projects can be effectively met. We believe that ALL of our projects are valuable and worthwhile and we want to encourage a unified “YES” to supporting them within this community. We would also like to be able to free our volunteers from the time involved in fundraising so that they can do more direct work with the projects themselves.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: If you have financially supported several of the church’s Outreach projects each year, we would now ask you to be mindful of increasing your weekly/monthly givings to maintain your support. For instance, if your family might normally offer $500 support for 3 or 4 initiatives over the course of the year, you will now need to think about adding that $500 to your weekly/monthly givings over the course of the year. For $500, that means about an extra $42 a month or $10.50 a week will need to go into the offering plate. It is important to be aware of this in order that funds for both Outreach and the General Operation of the church don’t fall short.

MISSION AND SERVICE (M&S): Mission and Service donations are different from Outreach givings. These funds go directly to the United Church Head Office for Outreach and Mission Initiatives undertaken by General Council on behalf of all United Churches in Canada. All monies directed to M&S go directly to the United Church of Canada and are not used by Wellington Square in any way.
If, in the past, you have specifically noted support for M&S on your envelopes, please continue to do so.
