“…out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.” John 7:38 (NSVR)

WE'RE HALFWAY THERE!

We are sincerely grateful to the 143 families and individuals who have pledged to give $317,339.50 over the next three years to the LivingWater campaign. We are almost 80% towards our goal of raising $400,000!

It is important for churches to do two things often. The first is to celebrate the good work done in the service of our Lord. Celebrating acknowledges great effort and helps to generate energy for future effort. The second is to frequently assess, vision and plan in order to continue as a relevant and thriving congregation doing God’s work.

At Islington United Church, we will kick off 2013 by doing both through the LivingWater Campaign. LivingWater will begin with a celebration of what our church is today—busy, with many opportunities to explore and deepen one’s faith, become part of a nurturing community, and contribute time and talents to welcome and support others in the community.

Through the LivingWater Campaign, our goal is to ask every member to share why they love this church. We want to share your passion with others who may want to join us.

But we must also acknowledge that there is much more we can and need to do. We chose the name ‘Living Water’ because this is what the Holy Spirit empowers us to be. In our own community, we don’t have to look far for neighbours who are desperately thirsty and need the ministry of the Holy Spirit. We need to welcome them.
