Christmas Service – December 21, 9:45 AM<\/h3>\t\t\t

We will be celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ on Saturday, December 21, 9:45 AM. During our Christmas service, we will be singing Christmas Carols and hearing stories of God\u2019s redeeming work. Our Children\u2019s Ministry will also be hosting a special program for the kids while the adults hear God-Stories and receive a short message.<\/p>\n

After our service, we will be hosting a Meet & Greet with refreshments from 11:15 AM \u2013 12:30 PM. It will be an excellent opportunity to invite your friends and family to not only hear about God\u2019s goodness, but to connect them with others in this faith community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\t\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Baptism Service \u2013 December 22, 9:45 AM<\/h3>\t\t\t

Our worship service on December 22 will be a special baptism service. We will celebrate alongside our brothers and sisters as they publicly declare their faith in Jesus Christ through the sharing of their testimonies and the act of baptism. We encourage you to arrive early as we do anticipate larger than normal attendance.<\/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. The deadline for submitting an offering to receive a 2024 tax receipt is Dec 29, 12:00PM.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We encourage the congregation to apply for a personal offering number to allow efficient and accurate recording of offering information. To meet the 2024 tax receipt schedule, the application deadline for an offering number is Dec 20 (Friday).<\/span><\/p>\n

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
