The Our Whole Lives Weekend for youth ages 16-18 has been cancelled due to low enrollment. Our Religious Exploration Committee, youth, and families will work together to find a way to offer this important program to our older teens during the next church year.

Many thanks to OWL Coordinator Lisa Naylor and her team, Heather Ashdown, Mike Tutthill and Dorian Zaharia for your time and effort planning the weekend, and reaching out to the broader community.

Committee Carnival February 12/12

Come one and come all to the UU “Committee Carnival” happening at the church on Sunday February 12, right after the service! There will be display tables for the many committees of our church, as well as games, giveaways, and prizes! This will be a great opportunity to showcase your committee to the congregation, and for everyone to find out what happens behind the scenes that makes our church operate so well. It’s also a chance to meet new faces, connect people, and maybe even increase the participation and/or membership in your committee’s work. The Carnival will run from service ending until 1 PM.

We would like to thank the congregation again for your generous support of the Annual Christmas Orange Appeal for our Winnipeg Harvest sponsored food bank this past Christmas. 260 boxes of oranges were purchased, which we distributed on the last two Thursdays before Christmas (December 15th and 22nd) to two appreciative groups of clients.

We would also like to extend our thanks to Husni Zied, the manager of the Foodfare Store on Maryland and Westminster, for his very generous support of this project. Surplus money will be used to purchase milk and/or powdered milk throughout the year when the supply from Winnipeg Harvest is low.

Thank you for your continued support!

Brian Klowak & Cheryl Simmonds
Co-Chairs, Winnipeg Harvest Committee
