WHY: A fundraiser to equip and train our youth!
The sermon series looks at Jesus’ ministry through his interactions during meals. We see we can use meals, like Jesus did, to minister to those around us. Meals welcome others into our lives and help others feel invited and included. As you read the Gospels – specifically in Luke and in John, you can’t help but notice the long, unrushed meals where part of Jesus’ life.
This season we will examine the Advent songs in Luke’s gospel which speaks of God’s faithfulness.
Dec 1: Mary’s Song – Jesus came to fulfill a promise. Luke 1:46-56. Mary’s song praises God for His mercy & faithfulness. We will take a look at her story, and see how the words of her worshipful song reveal the glory of what God accomplished through Jesus.
Dec 8: Zechariah’s Song – Jesus came to save humanity. Luke 1:67-80. Zechariah’s song praises God for keeping His promises. Let’s find out who Zechariah was, and examine the truths that are revealed through his words about God’s Messiah.
Dec 15: The Angels’ Song – Jesus came to bring peace. Luke 2:14. The angels sing of glory to God & praise Him for bringing peace on earth. We’ll look at the story of the Shepherds and focus on the significance of why the angels sang proclamations of glory and peace.
Dec 22: Simeon’s Song – Jesus came to reveal God’s truth to everyone. Luke 2:29-32. Simeon’s words aren’t technically referred to as a “song.” We’re talking a little poetic license here. His words were an outburst of praise to God upon seeing the baby Jesus. (That qualifies as a song.) Simeon praised God for fulfilling His covenant with Abraham to bless all people through Israel. Tell the story of Simeon and Anna, and focus on the significance of Simeon’s words of praise.
Dec 24: Christmas Eve in Candlelight
Dec 29: Always Levelling Up : God’s Work In Us Never Ends. 2 Corinthians 3:7-18. This stand-alone lesson on 2 Corinthians 3:18, focuses on the idea of “Ever increasing glory.” God’s transformational work in our lives is constant and never-ending. We never arrive, but continually grow closer to God. As we do so, we continually experience newer and greater levels of spiritual growth and faith in Jesus.
With only two weeks left in the school year, summer planning is in full swing!
Summer Cinema is the theme for this summer. We’ll look at the lessons and Biblical truth that can be glea
ned from some carefully selected movies. No, we won’t be watching the whole thing on a Sunday morning, but various speakers will be showing clips and helping us look for the truth behind the tinsel.
We will have supervised time for kids aged 3 through third grade in our KidsChurch area. Our regular team of amazing volunteers gets a well-deserved break over the summer, so we are looking for a few individuals who would like to help out upstairs. By filling out THIS FORM, you can let us know when you’re available. Background checks are mandatory.
Our Youth will be hanging out here and there throughout the summer. That schedule will be posted shortly!
See you at the movies!

Ordinary people who God can redeem, restore, and use for His glory.
Our sermon series for the month of December is called: The Jesus Family Tree. Each week we will be looking at different women in the Bible. We will consider the lives of Sarah, Rahab, Ruth, Mary and Anna. We will be reflecting on the following themes: Hope, Peace, Joy, Love and Anticipation.
Lani Wiens, our Kids and Youth Ministry Director, explained it well:
“From the very beginning, God was creating a family. He was building relationships with a people that He called out to be His own. Unfortunately, those children disappointed, wandered and rejected Him over and over; yet He never gave up on them.
His beautiful plan of redemption spans the arc of history.
Throughout the weeks of December, we will hear God`s story unfolding. Even though it looked like the main tree was cut off, the promised delayed; life and hope were still deeply rooted in God`s heart.
Isaiah 11:1 says, “Out of the stump of David’s family will grow a shoot— yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root.”
The passage goes on to prophecy about the Messiah and what glorious blessing will come through the new shoot.”
On the last Sunday of 2023 (December 31) we will take a closer look at Anna, Lady in Waiting (Luke 2:36 -38).

Join us at Winnipeg Centre Vineyard for our sermon mini series entitled “You Are Invited”.
Tables can be the place where family and friends gather. A place where we celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners. A table can be a place where meals are shared, and stories are told. It can be a place of laughter, tears, hard conversations, and prayer. Someone once said it could be a place where “old friends catch up and new friends are made.”
In “The Dinner Table as a Place of Connection, Brokenness, and Blessing,” Barry D. Jones writes:
“I’m convinced that one of the most important spiritual disciplines for us to recover in the kind of world in which we live, is the discipline of table fellowship.”
“Our dinner tables have the potential to be the most “missional” places in all of our lives. Perhaps before we invite people to Jesus or invite them to church, we should invite them to dinner. If table fellowship is a spiritual discipline that is vital for shaping and sustaining our life with God for the world, we need to make a point to share our tables with people who are in our lives but far from God. This was one of the most distinctive aspects of Jesus’s ministry.”
As we look at God’s grace through the life of David (2 Samuel 9:1-12) and look at the example of Jesus (Matthew 11:28-30), we can be encouraged to show grace, kindness and hospitality to others.
