"We express our gratitude for your support for our ministry at Metropolitan Church. The Toronto United Church Council has enabled us to open ourselves more fully to the community around us through the renovation of our church basement, thus centering our ministry in one building. This has had a marked effect on uniting our Sunday congregation with our mid-week clients and guests. Your investment in our life has also enabled us to secure this congregation's long-term viability. Thank you again for all your visionary work in the bigger picture. We appreciate your encouraging support."

"Our interest is to establish a community effort to build affordable housing in Muskoka. This is our spiritual investment in our home community. Toronto United Church Council's cooperative partnership in establishing the Muskoka Housing Fund saved us time and a great deal of money. It also saved us the anxiety associated withmanaging the new fund. It allowed ust o continue tofocus on the local effort to make the project work. The people at the Council understood our intentions and worked with us until our needs were met. Council's support, creativity and financial experience was instrumental to the successful launch of the Gateway Homes Muskoka initiative."

"Soon after the water crisis in Walkerton, new government regulations made life difficult for all of our United Church camps in Toronto Conference. Property manager Ken Pennock's know-how and leadership, and the fundraising help provided by Counil ensured that all of our camps incorporated the changes without missing a beat. Without their help, we'd have been in non-compliance throughout that camp season and longer."
