We acknowledge that long before settlers from other lands came to the territory where today we gather to worship, the people of Canada’s First Nations held this place as a sacred trust. Under the terms of Treaty One, we now share the responsibility of caring for the earth, and sky and water where, along with the Metis people of Manitoba, we pledge to create a sacred space of welcome where all might find a home.Caring & Sharing
Get Well wishes to Doreen Routley, in Seven Oaks Hospital. Please keep her in your prayers. Cards are welcome.

Legacy Giving
At the 2010 annual meeting the congregation approved the creation of a Legacy Fund -- an alternative method of financially contributing to NKUC in addition to our weekly givings. However, the committee that oversees the fund has received few inquiries about how this works. We encourage you to look up the Legacy Giving page, located under the Programs button found in the black bar underneath the banner.* * * * *
Prayer Shawl
Our Prayer Shawl Ministry provides prayer shawls and pocket prayer squares to members of our congregation to give to those who need comfort and support for whatever reasons. They are made by ladies in our congregation with love, laughter and filled with prayers from our people. They are free to all. We do accept donations to help cover the cost of the wool. Please contact Peggy Latimer or ask anyone at church for assistance.* * * * *
Board Minutes Now Posted
A policy change adopted by General Council directs all congregations to post minutes of Unified Board meetings on their websites. The policy change went into effect for United Church congregations in mid-September 2016 and, as a result, NKUC is resuming the practice of posting these minutes. The minutes can be found by moving your cursor to the ABOUT button and then scrolling down and clicking on BOARD MINUTES or Click Here.Questions or Comments about our Web page?
