During this time when we cannot meet together in our church building, we continue to be a faith community, finding ways we can connect and support each other. We prayerfully ask for your continued financial support as you are able. We know this time brings a lot of uncertainty and impact, we trust that God will provide and we will continue to experience the fullness of Christ.
Electronic options continue to be available from any banking institution. In the short-term we can also make available an e-transfer option (send treasurer@ezmennonite.ca). If you would like to continue to contribute through a cheque please mail the cheque to Dawn Zehr or place it in her mailbox at the end of her driveway. We prefer not to handle cash at this time.
