John 18: 1-10Acknowledging 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.Passages
We would like to send our best wishes to our congregation as we continue to live in isolation to help flatten the curve during this COVID-19 pandemic.

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?
