Covenant Christian Reformed Church


Hi all, for some reason I am underlining everything right now and can't figure out how to stop it. Like I said I haven't blogged for a long time and was never really very into it so this is a learning process for me. If someone knows how to stop this underlining,let me know!
Phew! No underlining! I was going to post some pictures of the people who have been working so hard in so many areas to plan for this project but forgot to take my camera to the meeting last night. I went back to church today to take some pictures of the building. I thought it would be good to give people a idea of the place we will be calling home for almost a week. Its a comfortable building - air conditioned which is good for hot summer days. Above is a picture of our sanctuary or auditorium. This is where we will have singing and Shellie will lead us each night. Worship is going to happen around 6:30 every evening from July 16-20 so if you would like to attend, feel free to drop by.

Comfy couches in our entry. I'm sure we will hang out there sometime. We just added the TV screen for information and we are hoping to have the daily schedule posted there.


This is the front entrance. We have a large parking lot and a big field so there will be sports and games out there too. Winnipeg Covenant CRC is eager to see the SERVE team arrive!

Post #1!

Hi everyone,
I had a blog once a few years ago and just didn't keep it up. Hopefuly with this start to the Blog for Winnipeg SERVE 2011 I will be able to go this at least for the next month or so. Let your friends and family know this is here so that they can keep informed of what you are doing. Ron Hosmar from Ottawa is keeping up his blog too so there will be information for everyone.

This is a special project for many of us because it is a way for some of our friends who wouldn't be able to go on a regular SERVE project to be able to get the experience. It is our first attempt in Winnipeg and we are excited to see the work we have been doing come into play soon!

My name is Carol Vande Kraats and I am the coordinator of Winnipeg SERVE 2011. I am a teacher - kindergarten for many years and for the last 8 or so I have been a resource teacher. I have three kids - all married and I have four grandkids who I am crazy about. I talk about them a lot. Sorry. I attended parts of last year's SERVE in Ottawa so many of the people attending in Winnipeg will be familiar to me.

Tomorrow night we have a meeting with the planning team and I will get pictures so I can introduce our team to all of you.

Than't all for now.

See you all soon.
Shalom.
Carol
