The work of ecumenism through the Prairie Centre for Ecumenism goes on every day of the year. Workshops are being planned and offered, sermons are being prepared and preached, groups are being led. Resources are being produced and shipped, people are being introduced to one another. Why? So that Christians may know the benefit of sharing deeply with one another.

This work is being carried out throughout the Prairie provinces. We connect people from all Christian denominations, encouraging them to worship and work together. The Centre's ministry is to educate, motivate and facilitate, "behind the scenes" work which is quiet and transforming.

Your monthly contribution to the ongoing ministry of ecumenism facilitates the fulfillment of Jesus' desire that we may all be one as Jesus and the Father are one. "That all may be one ... that the world may believe that you sent me." (John 17:21)

There are a number of ways that you can support the work of the Prairie Centre of Ecumenism:

Pre-Authorized Remittances (PAR)

"I give by Pre-Authorized Remittance because the work of ecumenism is one of my priorities."

What is PAR?
Pre-Authorized Remittance is a "direct debit" program that allows you to support the ministry of the Centre through an automatic monthly withdrawal from your bank account. Once a month all PAR givings are debited from givers' accounts, then electronically transferred into the Centre's account. This happens around the 20th of the month.
How do I begin donating using PAR?
Complete the contact form, call, or drop-in to the Centre to arrange for the PAR authorization card to be sent to you. Send the completed card with signature and a voided cheque to the Centre. We will do the rest.
How can I change the amount of my gift -- or change to a different account?
Simply call the Centre and we will provide the forms you need to sign. If it is a new account, you will need to provide a new voided cheque.
What about Tax Receipts?
The Centre will continue to issue tax receipts on an annual basis. The Centre is a registered Canadian non-profit charitable organization.
Who administers PAR?
The United Church of Canada, one of the Centre's supporting denominations, administers PAR. If you wish further information about their PAR program, please ask.

• You don't have to wonder if you sent your contribution this year -- you can know that your money is at work on an ongoing basis.
