This Sunday, October 1, 2017, Sam Smalldon will lead a discussion on the topic of World Church Finances. Please review his note below, the memo from the Presiding Bishopric, and the important documents prior to this Sunday's conversation. 

To the Congregation:
​
It is our hope by sending this out in advance of the Sunday morning conversation it will help everyone to have time to read and have a good understanding of the communications, the message, and the request in hopes that discussion will build on this for better understanding and any desire from the Congregation to participate in the request being made.  
 
Also, please note as a reminder, we will follow up this discussion on October 1, 2017, with another opportunity for Coffee and Conversation on Sunday, October 22, 2017, at 10 a.m. to discuss Local Church Finances in preparation for the annual budget for 2018. 
 
We are hoping to be open and transparent as well as provide time for vigorous discussion of these topics as they are relevant and timely. We look forward to a good discussion; both to increase awareness and help answer any questions or hear the concerns or issues that arise.  
 
If there are any questions in advance please contact me directly anytime. 
 
Thank you - 

Sam
(Interim) Calgary CFO

​Please review the following memo sent from the Presiding Bishopric to Financial Officers as well as the important documents:

The First Presidency shared important information with the church via live webcast on Wednesday. Click here or on the image below to view the recorded video and/or full text.

Barbara Cameron and Parker Johnson cordially invite you and your loved ones to the Sunday, Oct. 8 morning worship. This service will take place around the Thanksgiving table. We welcome you to bring any dish of your choosing for this special service. A turkey will be provided, so anything else is fair game. We hope you can join us!*

*Please consider our current setup in your food preparation. We have two small sinks available for you; however, all other items traditionally held in our Ranchlands kitchen will need to be provided by you (serving utensils, pot-holders, etc.). Please contact Barbara Cameron with any questions at barbara.cameron@shaw.ca.

Calgary Community of Christ has been utilized as a case study and highlighted in the areas of social media and web marketing by the World Church in a new resource released yesterday. This comes after about a year of collaborative meetings with the World Church Communications Team and stands as a testament to all the great work going on in our congregation. 

Check out these new materials by clicking here. You will find Calgary’s name throughout each document – particularly at the end in the ‘Case Studies’ section. 

The publishing arm of Community of Christ has a fresh, new face at www.HeraldHouse.org, with everything from lessons to apparel.

The new website has a clean, easy-to-use design and secure checkout. The site is well organized and customers can create accounts, rate products, and add comments. It is designed to view on desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones.

Responding to a frequent request, one component will provide access to free resources created by members for worship, education, reunions, and other activities. To share materials, click the Member Created link on the top menu. Instructions there tell how to upload resources for consideration.

“This will be a fantastic way to give the church greater access to resources that might not otherwise be seen or used outside the congregation that created them,” said Apostle Janné Grover, team leader for Disciple and Priesthood Formation.

The new website will have shipping and handling fees based on shipping costs, where the former site’s fees in most cases were based on total order amounts. Missouri congregations that set up an account on the new website must contact sales@heraldhouse.org prior to placing their first order so that merchandise can be tax exempt.

The First Presidency invites you to a live webcast in three languages on Wednesday, September 20, at 7:30 p.m. (Central Daylight Time). There is an urgent need for us to work together to address significant financial challenges that will impact the future of the church. Specific steps to meet the church’s financial needs will be announced.
The video archive will be available online in English, French, and Spanish as soon as the closed captions/subtitles are finished.
