  • you could join PAR (pre-authorized remittance) whereby your donation for the month is withdrawn on the 20th of the month (for the application form, click here or email office@jubilee-uc.ca
  • We receive e-transfers via the office@jubilee-uc.ca email address if that is a way you would like to donate
  • you can donate through CanadaHelps.org (search Jubilee UC Burnaby) or go to tiny.cc/JUC to donate (though there is a small administrative fee taken from your offering to the church)
End of October, 2020 (83%)
Support the church beyond your lifetime. Planning now to make a gift in the future for the work of the church, such as a bequest in your will, lays the foundation for a stable and exciting future. A gift in your will is the most common form of planned or legacy gift. There are other ways to remember the church beyond your lifetime, if you would like information, please contact Rev. Graham.
