Spirit
of the season, help those less fortunate
For those of you who'd like to help some deserving kids
and families have a better Christmas, opportunity knocks.

Cree
painter's brush puts life in perspective
Darryle Caribou isn't fazed by an audience peering over

while painting in public.

For a group of inner-city boys, the excitement when the
checkered flag drops at the speedway and the cars roar by
must feel like a world away from their homes in Winnipeg's
North End.

Community Christmas Party, Thursday, December 20th
Thursday, December 20th we are
hosting our annual Christmas party for our community in
the North End. The party gives us the opportunity to share
the love of Christ to the families in our community by providing
a festive program, a free meal and, if possible, gifts to
every child under twelve. We expect to serve a meal to 500
people and give gifts to 200 children. So you can imagine
the amount of supplies required to make the night successful.
