Church Center Information Session
Sunday May 7, Fireside Chapel, After Morning ServiceAs mentioned before, Rexdale is moving to Church Centere and we are rolling out the different parts in stages. In the next few weeks, Rexdale will be moving its online giving to Church Center. The move to Church Center will be accompanied by a simplified financial structure making the process of giving tithes and offerings simpler for donors and more efficient and cost effective for Rexdale. You might have received an email about this recently. On Sunday, May 7 in the Fireside Chapel, there will be a chance to get more information and ask questions about the changes to giving right after the morning service
Last week, Rexdale launched Groups where you can get connected to one another by building friendships around a common interest! Emails were sent out for each group. Have you started connecting with your group yet? Haven't joined one? Browse Groups once you download Church Center HERE.
