Book Club - the curious incident of the dog in the night-time by Mark Haddon 

You can get your offering to the church office in several ways:

  You can use PAR, or

  E transfer to firstunitedchurch@rogers.com, or

  Website donation to www.firstunitedchurch.ca, or

  Send a cheque to First United Church, 16 William St. West, Waterloo ON N2L1J3, or

  Drop a cheque into the mailbox located at the Entrance on William St. side.

**Just a reminder- credit card companies have a fee of around 3-5%. If you wish the church to get the full amount, then please add that % to your contribution. **

A gentle reminder that we are trying to raise funds to replace one of the broken projectors.  We can’t afford to take any money out of operating right now which forces us to wait to order what we require and hope that the price doesn’t go up.  Any help you can give us would be much appreciated.

Again, a big THANK YOU for your continued support!
