Stewardship & Gifts

Generosity is our response to God’s call to be compassionate disciples. Together, the people of the United Church live out Jesus’ vision and values by caring for each other and the world. Each and every day, we join God’s life-changing mission to make ourselves, our community and our world more peaceful, just and loving for everyone. “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10b)

Many churches are finding ways to do Mission and Outreach during COVID-19.In the summer of 2020, Knox United, Ayr, joined by the other local churches, partnered with the Township of North Dumfries, in a project that invited people to decorate their front porches, lawns, balconies, etc. in a way that interpreted the scripture in Galatians 5:22-23.It could be a sculpture, a banner, a piece of art – anything was possible! The project was promoted in The Ayr News, on the Ayr churches' websites and social media and through the Township's social media. Participants registered on-line, and a route map was created of the homes and advertised in The Ayr News. During Canada Day and the days following, members of the community were invited to tour past the homes and vote on-line for their favorite in various categories. Award ribbons were given out to those with the most votes in each category.*“the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.”*It was a great way to bring the community together with an ecumenical message of positivity. Please enjoy this video we put together of the homes. ... See MoreSee Less
