Theological Colleges
We support, as resources permit, the following theological colleges of the United Church of Canada: Atlantic School of Theology, Emmanuel College, St. Andrew's College (Saskatoon), St. Stephen's College (Alberta) and Vancouver School of Theology. Education has become very expensive and our students need our support.
M&S Fund (United Church of Canada)
The Mission and Service Fund (M&S Fund) is the main way our church reaches out to the rest of the world to help our neighbour in a time of need or crisis. Instead of the traditional missionary model, the United Church creates partnerships around the world with organizations that are already set up in the areas we feel the need to serve.
Hear is a story from our "Minute for Mission" program telling about one of many projects our M&S Fund supports....

PROPOSED MISSION AND MINISTRY STATEMENT 2021 SEP
Proposed….September 2021
Rosetown United Church: Mission & Ministry
Vision: Mission Statement
As a people of Rosetown United Church our mission and ministry is:
to live and serve in the church and the world as we seek justice, act kindly
and show love to “ALL”. (Micah 6.8)
Goals (What we do.)
We do this ministry and mission when: we gather in worship and learning circles (learning opportunities) to renew our strength, to nourish faith in God, Jesus and the Spirit and to go forward with confidence and vision; our services are in-person, recorded and live streamed.
We are good stewards of our building and space(s) providing space for community activities such as: dance school; piano lessons; yoga and walking groups; annual photography club shows; Harvest fall Festival; Santa'S Hut; Music Festival; meetings of businesses and social services; funerals; weddings; baptismal lunches; hosting Adult & Family Film Nights.
We use the donations of time, treasure and talent to support this mission and ministry through: people of faith in congregation and non-residents; pre-authorized remit; weekly offerings; garage sales, annual canvas, bequeaths; memorial contributions; tea and bake sales; occasional anniversary teas; Fall (Fowl) Suppers; Spring fling; BBQs; Committee Lunches.
We support a ministry and mission of outreach and outreach programs, such as: local food bank; local, Christian helper Fund; the Mission & Service fund UCC; in-person and on-line worship services to members and wider community; and respond to disaster assistance; and Community of Faiths in Living Skies Region (Youth Camps).
We support a ministry of pastoral care to: shut-ins and those in need; seniors and care facilities in our area; those suffering loss (funerals); Compassionate Friends; and offering services online for those who cannot attend in person.
Rosetown United Church endeavours to practice sustainable finances, but also, sustainable living practices by reducing our carbon footprint on God's Creation through updating our buildings and greening our energy use.
Practicing sustainable finances involves a change in use of our building(s) and spaces within them, to open them up to multi-use. Therefore, more space will be available for rent to the community. Reducing carbon foot print, reduces costs in the long run.
Reducing our carbon footprint involves: the replacement of windows with a better "R" value; insulating outside walls; changing electrical and lighting to be energy efficient (solar possible); efficient, management water (inside & outside); possible use of paving stones in staff parking to reduce gravel and sand clogging sewer system and allow water to seep into ground; use of new materials to reduce frequency of painting, staining, and general upkeep.
