Outreach

The Faith and Future Fund

Periodically The Faith and Future Fund makes recommendations to the Board regarding grants to groups within and beyond Westworth for worthwhile projects.  In its first round of donations in November, 2010, awards were made to the West Broadway Community Services ($9,144 for their afternoon drop-in program) and to Wolseley Family Place ($5,810 for events and activities to promote healthy lifestyles for families in the inner city of Winnipeg).

Special Appeals

If you would like to give money to a specific church function, event or charity, please feel to pick up a Special Appeals envelope. You can find them in the church office or on the coffee ledge in the Narthex on Sunday mornings.

Our outreach philosophy

As individuals and as a congregation we believe that God calls us to make a positive difference in the lives of others.  Under the leadership of our Outreach Committee, Westworth folks have opportunities to make that difference.  From an annual event in which we learn about what church-related ministries are doing in the lives of others (the event is called “Beyond These Walls” and is held on a Sunday in March) to events based on our current three-year focus theme of “Food”, from collecting school supplies for Rossbrook House to providing volunteers for our partners at the West Broadway Community Ministry, from working with newcomers to Canada to connecting with some of the other partner ministries listed below, there is no shortage of ways for people to become involved through the congregation.

Our Partners

The Children’s Fund

Twice a year Westworth’s Children’s Fund makes a grant (usually $750) to a ministry or project that assists children or youth in need, either close at hand or far away.  The grant is designed to be used as seed money or to buy equipment or pay for some other item or program that is not part of an organization’s regular operating budget.
