Benefits of Being a Club Member
Being a member means you gain access to a calendar with a wide variety of events for you and your children to participate in.
How Does the Club Work?
Many hands make work light.
At the top of the school year, there’s a planning meeting in which we will lay out all of the social and educational options available. Kind-of-like a buffet of activities. Together, the community picks and chooses the activities to put into the community calendar.
Parental Involvement
Parents are encouraged to volunteer their skills, time, resources and/or knowledge to host or assist with events that are in line with their gifts, talents, skills and passions. For example:
Some parents love crafting, so they’ll head up crafting days.
Other parents have teens and are happy to host a hike for the club’s teens.
Other parents may host a cooking class.
Head up a sporting event, music classes, a survival course, you get the picture.
There will be countless events for students to participate in that are free to attend as a member of this club, but parents are also welcome to create a specialty class and charge for it.
Teens are also encouraged to use their gifts, talents and skills to serve the community. Whether it’s teaching art, assisting with sports, or educating the younger kids on a topic they’re passionate about. What the community consists of will be according to the gifts and talents of the individuals with it.
Parents volunteer a handful of days throughout the year, (ideally around activities you’re organically passionate about), but in return you get a whole calendar full of activities for you and your children.
Win, win!
Location
Most events will take place in or around the Winnipeg area, or in Southeastern Manitoba. However, all families are welcome to open up their home, and to host an event, which would result in the community coming to you.
Our Guiding Values
Please read these thoroughly to ensure that you’re comfortable in a community with others who think as such.
What we believe
We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, the foundation for truth, and our guide book for how to do life on earth. All members must hold this perspective and should have a desire to learn about these truths and grow in them, while simultaneously being respectful towards others in the community who may not agree on every point.
What shared values does our group hold?
It is vital to surround ourselves with others who share the same values. To seek friendships with those who will encourage, lift us up, challenge us, and help us maximize our potential.
We are coming together under the values of morality, integrity, virtue, dignity. Although we look to scripture to interpret the meaning of these, we understand that working out our salvation is a personal journey, and we respect where others are at on this path.
