Sunday School: Acts & Paul\u2019s Letters \u2013 Apr 28, 11:15 AM<\/h3>\t\t\t

We invite you to join our Sunday School Class which runs every Sunday from February to April. The purpose of Sunday School is to equip you to grow as a Bible Reader and a Bible Teacher. In our upcoming course, we will be studying Paul\u2019s letters within the historical and literary context of Acts. By the end of the course, you will know why Paul wrote what he wrote, and how that impacts how you read and apply these books of the Bible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Post-Service Prayer Meeting \u2013 May 5, 11:15 AM<\/h3>\t\t\t

Charles Spurgeon once called the prayer room \u2018The Engine Room of the Church\u2019. \u201cIf the engine room is out of action,\u201d Spurgeon explained, \u201cthen the whole mill will grind to a halt. We cannot expect blessing if we do not ask.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a church, we desire to see God work in our midst to save souls, build His Church, and heal the broken. Therefore, we ask that you join us in our Engine Room to pray for one another and for God to do a great work in our midst.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Online Giving\/Tithing<\/h3>\t\t\t

Offering is a privilege and responsibility for members. Our encouragement is for each member to prayerfully seek God\u2019s guidance for how they ought to be giving in this season. All offering goes towards funding ministries locally and globally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We encourage the congregation to apply for a personal offering number to allow efficient and accurate recording of offering information. We encourage the congregation to offer online through e-transfer or online banking. If you choose to give offering via cheque, we ask that you write the church’s full name “North Toronto Chinese Baptist Church”. The banks no longer accept the short form NTCBC as a valid payee.<\/span><\/p>\n

2023 tax receipts have been mailed out.\u00a0 If you do not receive the tax receipts by March 1, please email the Finance Department at finance@ntcbc.ca or contact our Office Administrator, Wilman Lai, at 416-733-8088 ext 210.<\/span><\/p>\n

For more details on online giving, including how to add NTCBC as an ‘online bill payee’,\u00a0 click here.<\/u><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
