New wheels!

Place of Hope Indigenous Presbyterian Church no longer has access to the WICM bus. Their program needs have expanded to include Sunday.
However, good news! With many thanks to The Presbyterian Church in Canada, First Presbyterian Church Winnipeg’s St James legacy fund, and St John’s Presbyterian Church legacy fund we were able to purchase a 2021 8 seat SUV.
This will be her first Sunday getting our families back and forth to church Attendance last week was 66. Half that number are 18 years and younger. (from FB post, Sept 20, 2024.)

Place of Hope youth at Uplift!

We’re thrilled to have sent 15 people to the PCC’s youth conference this year at Brock University in Ontario.

Twelve youth and three leaders went to the Uplift conference in July. Outstanding representation from Place of Hope.

Details to come!

Legacy donation from Norval Presbyterian Church

Sad news for our friends at Norval Presbyterian Church in Ontario. The church has dissolved.

NPC has supported Place of Hope Church (and WICM before that) with donations of many types, including sending a youth mission group in 2012. Many longterm heartfelt relationships were formed.

Many thanks to Norval Pres Church for directing a legacy donation to  Place of Hope as part of its divestments.

Godspeed to the good people who served at NPC, which was formed in 1838 and made the community a better place for 186 years.
