Mandate: United for God’s Mission is a quarterly magazine for United Church congregational leaders, both lay and order of ministry. Mandate provides tools for use in all areas of congregational life, including spiritual growth and discipleship formation, justice and advocacy, worship, stewardship, outreach, and Mission and Service Fund awareness.

Current Issue

This special edition is your complete account of the Mission and Service Fund at work. It includes stories, lists, facts, and figures about the 2010 ministries and partners receiving M&S support. This year for the first time there are also a number of tools to help you raise M&S awareness—and funds—in your congregation. There’s a worship service outline, a Bible study, a workshop outline, and children’s program.
