About the M&S Fund

A United Vision is…

• serving
• friendly
• flexible
• inclusive
• welcoming
• faithful
• compassionate
• justice-seeking
• caring
• peace-seeking
• tolerant
• innovative

In the United Church we have a vision of how we participate in God’s mission in the world. This United Vision is articulated in our Creed and in the words above from our members. Our vision involves ministry in our own United Churches and in work with partners across the country and around the globe. Our United Vision and our United work is funded by the Mission and Service Fund.

Resources for a United Fund for a United Vision

Bright, colourful, new resources are available for your fall and winter M&S work. The colours come from the M&S logo. The pictures represent some of the work that M&S funds.

Many of you answered our survey on how you would describe the United Vision. We included your ideas in the resources, using words, photos, and images.

Our Creed also describes a United Vision. You will see references to “A New Creed” in these new resources. Our Mission and Service Fund is how we support all of the work we want to do together as a United Church. This year, our M&S target is $31.5 million. We need to stretch our financial vision so that we can keep up with rising costs.
