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. <strong>The deadline for submitting an offering to receive a 2024 tax receipt is Dec 29, 12:00PM.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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&#8217;s full name &#8220;North Toronto Chinese Baptist Church&#8221;. The banks no longer accept the short form NTCBC as a valid payee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-weight: 400;color: #0fa5c6\">For more details on online giving, including how to add NTCBC as an &#8216;online bill payee&#8217;,\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/ntcbc.org\/en\/offering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>click here.<\/u><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-6599-4\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-6599-4-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-6599-4-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_themegrill_flash_image tg-widget tg-image-widget panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"8\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-6599-4-0-0\" >\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ntcbc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/children.png\" \/>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-6599-4-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-6599-4-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_text panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"9\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-6599-4-1-0\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Children\u2019s Ministry Page<\/h3>\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/ntcbc.org\/en\/children-ministry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to access our Children\u2019s Ministry page<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-6599-5\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-6599-5-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-6599-5-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_text panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"10\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-6599-5-0-0\" >\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p class=\"footer\">Icons made by Freepik and Prettycons from www.flaticon.com<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below are our weekly announcements.
