To our supporters,
Thanks to your generosity, our community had one of its most successful Giving Tuesdays on record! Donors from all over the world responded generously by contributing to Worldwide Mission Tithes in order to support the mission of Community of Christ. Your generous giving, coupled with the matching donation of $150,000, as well as CanadaHelps’ $5 top-up resulted in a grand total of $575,000. These dollars will be used to directly fund the mission of Community of Christ around the world. With every donation, Facebook share, retweet, and Instagram post, you made our #GivingTuesday campaign a success. Thank you! As a reminder, please continue to use our unique Amazon Associates link when making purchases on Amazon. When you support Community of Christ using this link, Amazon will donate a portion of your purchase to the church. With the holidays just around the corner, it's a great (and free!) way to maximize your gift to the church! Click here to start shopping in Canada! Note: This tool can always be found by clicking the link in the footer of our website at www.communityofchrist.ca. Thanks again! Community of Christ Canadian Marketing Team  The MOM (Mother's Own Milk) Project was founded by one of our members, Caitlin d'Esterre, and started out as a program of the Calgary Community of Christ congregation to provide low cost breast pump rentals to mothers with babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The program has now grown to independence, and is hosting its first crowdfunding campaign on FundRazr!
The $3000 fundraising goal will allow The MOM Project to purchase more breast pumps and equipment to provide service to the last NICU in Calgary, so all NICU babies in the Calgary area will be able to eat their own mother's milk! The MOM Project has helped 155 families and 181 babies in 2.5 years, and with your support we can increase our impact in a big way! If you can't contribute with a donation, please visit our Facebook Page and share our FundRazr campaign link (https://fundrazr.com/themomprojectyyc) with your friends and family! You can also head to our website www.momproject.ca for more information about the program, testimonials from families we have helped, and our plans for the future.

(Note: We are back to our regular hours this week following our business meeting last week.) Click the button below to view this Sunday's Order of Worship.  Contributions for October are estimated at $800,000, which puts the church further behind the 2019 Worldwide Mission Tithes goal. Please prayerfully consider making additional contributions in support of local and worldwide ministries through the end of the year:
You can make a difference. Every additional contribution helps! Giving Tuesday is 3 December. Join in this day of generosity as we work together to increase our support for worldwide mission.
The first $150,000 will be doubled through matching dollars. Many thanks to our matching donors!  We invite you to “How Far to Bethlehem?,” an Advent service at 7 p.m. Central Time on December 8 in the Temple in Independence, Missouri, USA. Join us in person or online.
Congregations and individuals around the world have prepared hymns, readings, and prayers for this service. A social media wall in the Temple sanctuary will share questions and comments from those in the sanctuary and those taking part in the live-streamed event. From the Augsburg, Germany congregation, “Silent Night, Holy Night”/“Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht” will be performed in its original German. Offertory music from the church in Zambia, plus “Gloria in Excelsis Deo” from the Dominican Republic, and an original Christmas hymn by a French Polynesian choir will celebrate the season in song. Former presiding evangelist Dave Brock of Redmond, Oregon, will bring the homily. Jan Kraybill, organist-in-residence, will play the Temple’s Casavant organ with its 5,685 pipes to accompany hymns sung by worshipers, including “Hope Is a Light,” “Canticle of the Turning,” “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” and “Joy to the World.” To watch online, join us at:
 Coffee Buzz is Project Zion Podcast's monthly chat with a member of Community of Christ’s First Presidency.
This month, Linda Booth sits down with President Steve Veazey. Linda and Steve discuss how he sees his role as Prophet President and what his hopes are for Community of Christ. Enjoy! Listen here. Community of Christ members and friends often gather in fellowship and learning experiences called reunion or family camp. This relaxed and casual atmosphere provides space for spiritual growth, personal discernment, incredible amounts of fun, deeper commitment, new and renewed relationships, and so much more!
In 2020 we continue our journey with the theme “Living Jesus…Living Peace.” Plan now to join a camp to explore the question, “Why Jesus, Why Now?”. Walk the road to Emmaus again and live into the gospel stories of Jesus’ life. Recent and ongoing conversations with current reunion directors have helped to shape our experiences. Direct suggestions, ideas, comments, and questions regarding reunion resources to Susan Naylor, 2020 Reunion project coordinator. 2020 Theme: “Living Jesus…Living Peace” Daily Themes
