MWMC This Week – October 30, 2022

 Online Link for Livestream Difficulties

It has been brought to our attention that for several weeks, our weekly email link to connect directly to our Livestream and online bulletin has been giving us technical difficulties and has caused disruption for easy access.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and we are working towards finding a solution as soon as possible.
Until further notice, please note you can still view our Livestream by going directly to our YouTube and Facebook Live channels by typing in Milliken Wesleyan Methodist Church in the search bar and our bulletin is posted directly on our website under the selection “Bulletins” where all weekly bulletins are posted. We will notify those of you who are connected to our email list when it is functional.

“Fall Back” Into Daylight Saving Time!

Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 6 @ 2 am (NOT NEXT WEEKEND BUT THE FOLLOWING!)  Remember that if you have to set your clocks back manually to do so before you go to bed.

Income taxes

Our finance team would like to give a friendly  reminder that anyone who would like to receive a tax receipt for their financial contributions MUST put all Cheques and Cash in an envelope with FULL NAME AND ADDRESS.
We have received several unlabeled envelopes and without a name and address, there is no way of knowing who has made a contribution.  Unlabled envelopes go directly to the general fund so we ask you to PLEASE label your envelopes before placing them in the offering box.

1) A place to develop your gifts and be equipped to serve
