Pocket Prayer Shawls are available to the congregation. They are on the table at the rear of the Sanctuary. Please feel free to take one to share with others.* * * * *

Share Your Story
The NKUC web page would like to be a forum where members of the congregation can share stories with each other about their faith and a personal or spiritual experience. Our Webmaster, Aldo Santin, is prepared to help with editing and writing suggestions. Contact him with a submission at: nkucwebmaster@mymts.net* * * * *
Red River Co-Op
North Kildonan United Church has obtained a membership at Red River Co-op.
If you purchase gas at any of the Co-op service stations in the city and quote the following number -- 0323630 -- the dividends will be directed to the church, giving NKUC the revenue at the end of the year.* * * * *
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.Acknowledging Traditional Indigenous Territory & Metis Homeland
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.Questions or Comments about our Web page?
