Winkler Bible Camp’s Kids Zone season is well under way! We just had our sixth week and we’ve now finished our food drive! We’ve been collecting non-perishable food items for Farm Credit Canada and we made it a bit of a contest between the boys and the girls, with a prize for whichever side brings the most food. Do you have kids grade 1-6 who need something to do on Saturday mornings? Kids Zone will be taking place at 10:00 every Saturday morning until December 14th in the gymnasium at Winkler Elementary School, unless otherwise specified. Get ready for an awesome time of singing, games, prizes, and creative Bible teaching. For more information visit www.winklerbiblecamp.com or get in touch with either Jordan Phillips or Sydney Schultz via email (kidszone@winklerbiblecamp.com) or phone (204-325-9519).

Want to volunteer? If you’re in grade 7 and up, arrive at 9:00 and you can help out with doing actions, handing out candy, and just hanging out with the kids who come! If you play an instrument/sing and want to help out with music, or if you’re in grade 9 and up and you’re interested in helping with the lesson, email Jordan to ask about being part of the music and/or teaching team!

Can a person praise God by running a cash register? Can we bring glory to God by tinkering and repairing things? Can we bless our creator by pricing things or hanging clothing? We’re trying to, come and join us! The Gospel Echoes Thrift Store in Winkler is seeking volunteers. If you’re interested, call Chris at 325-0095 or email mr.chrispauls@gmail.com.
