OUTDOOR WORSHIP

We will continue to worship outdoors as long as weather permits.  Volunteers will be needed to work on the many details associated with indoor worship before we can invite everybody back inside.  Volunteers will also be needed every Sunday to greet people, maintain a list of who is present each week (for contact tracing), counting the offering, and various other duties that will become more apparent as we move along.

            If you are able and willing to volunteer in any capacity, please speak to Pastor Lynne or to a member of church council.

DO YOU HAVE A HEART FOR REFUGEES?

For many years, St. Luke’s Zion has been a member of NEST (the North End Sponsorship Team), an ecumenical group that supports refugees coming to Winnipeg.  We are currently in need of at least one representative to serve on the NEST board.  If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Pastor Lynne.
