Meet United Church generosity in action through stories you can share in person or on social media.
Mission and Service Stories (formerly called Minutes for Mission) are for sharing with our faithful supporters to show them the amazing work their gifts make possible. These stories can be used in services, in newsletters, and in face-to-face conversations. The more they're shared, the more people will understand just how life-changing Mission and Service is! To see videos of some of the work visit our YouTube channel.
