OPPORTUNITIES

Praying for our Community: Maple Leaf School

As students and staff return to school this next week, please pray in a special way for Maple Leaf School, as the loss of one of their grade 1 students will be most evident upon everyone returning to school without that student present.

CCMBC Legacy Fund and Advisors with Purpose

CCMBC Legacy Fund has partnered with Advisors with Purpose (AwP) (see a list of partners) and we would like to share an exciting program that we believe will help you! AwP are part of the family of ministries of Financial Discipleship Canada and they offer planned giving specialists who can help people think through their estate decisions and create a plan for their Will that reflects their life, faith and values. Because of our partnership with AwP, you have access to the services of their Christian planned giving specialists without cost or obligation. Read more.
