Outreach Activities
Together as a congregation, the Zion United Reformed Church…
Openly Invites Everyone to Our Sunday Services
God has provided us with His Word and instructed us to share it broadly with the world around us. When we gather for public worship services on the Lord’s Day, we do so with a desire that many will come and hear the law of God and the gospel of His grace. We will never close our doors to visitors and we provide a warm welcome to all who come through the doors of the church building. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. (Romans 10:17)
Seeks to be a Good Neighbour
As a church which gathers in the central location of Sheffield, the Zion URC is cognisant of its role as a neighbour within the community. We enjoy giving assistance and support to our neighbours when the need arises, and hosting a community cleanup in the spring and fall, followed by a bbq lunch.
Supports the Ministérios de Vida Events for Mexican Migrant Workers
Our region has a large number of foreign workers who come to Southern Ontario on a temporary work visa as labourers in the agricultural industry. For several years, the Zion URC has partnered with three other churches to hold Saturday night soccer events and Sunday worship services.
Hosts a Vacation Bible School Outreach Program
Every summer, the church building is transformed as we seek, through God’s Word, Bible lessons, singing, crafts and other fun activities, to show the gospel to the children of our congregation and to reach out to those who don’t regularly attend a Bible believing church.
Oversees the Ministry of New Horizon Church in North York
New Horizon Church in Toronto is a community of multi-ethnic Christians adhering to the historic Christian faith. We hold strongly to the doctrine of grace, sometimes called the Five Points of Calvinism. Our mission is to help people to know, love, and worship God, and to receive God’s answers to the difficult problems of life. Our Pastor, Rev. Mitchell Persaud, was sent to Toronto as a church planter and evangelist in 1997. We are now a mission work under the oversight of Zion United Reformed Church in Sheffield, Ontario.
Donations to the New Horizon ministry can be made by sending an e-transfer to accounting@zurch.ca with New Horizon noted in the message box, or by cheque to Zion United Reformed Church of Sheffield, 1238 Old Highway 8, Sheffield, ON L0R 1Z0.
