He Is Risen!

“You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here."

~~Mark 16:6

A Big Thank You!

I want to thank everyone for making the Empty Bowls Project a success!

A big thank you to the children for the diligent work making the pots and for their continued learning about hunger and poverty.

A big thank you to everyone who supported our learning by attending the luncheon on Sunday. It means a lot to know that Sparling is supporting the Sunday School and First Sundays Ministry.

A big thank you to everyone who purchased a clay bowl. 1Hope Winnipeg thanks you and the children thank you!

Summer Camps

It's that time! Time to start thinking about summer camp for the little ones (& not so little ones)! Check out these links for information about sleep-away camps and day camps in Manitoba:

• Manitoba Camping Association list of camps. The MCA has been specializing in organized children and family camps since 1937.


• The United Church of Canada Directory of Camps in Manitoba. Click on Manitoba to see the camps in Manitoba and at the bottom of the page lists CGIT camps for girls as well.

If your little one is too little for sleep-away camp or if sleep-away camp doesn't fit your summer schedule then make sure to check out these day camps offered in Winnipeg.

• Y Day Camp is offered at various locations in the city.


• Fort Whyte Day Camp is selling out fast!


• Assiniboine Park Zoo Day Camp.


• MiniU at the University of Manitoba.

I'm sure there are more day camps offered in Winnipeg and if you know of any drop us a comment with the information.

Cheers! & Happy Camping!

How Can You Help The Empty Bowls Project?

The children have been learning about hunger, poverty, and what our Christian response is. Please support their learning by participating in The Empty Bowls Project.

You can do this in three ways:

1. Attend our Empty Bowls Lunch on Sunday April 10th after church (any silver collection donations will be donated to 1Hope Winnipeg)

2. Purchase one of the clay bowls the children have made for $5.00 which will be donated to 1Hope Winnipeg.

3. Ask the children about what they have been doing and learning in Sunday School. Talk to them about how Jesus wants us to help the poor and the hungry.
