CFRUC is fundraising $10,000 to complete the Peace Garden.
“It’s a place for everyone who needs some time to sit, be quiet and think about peace or find peace,” said Barb Masterman, lead organizer for the project.
People who want more information about supporting the peace garden can contact the church at 204-475-6011.

PLEASE JOIN US FOR THESE UPCOMING EVENTS
“Explorations” our weekly on-line Spirituality Group resumes on September 3 at 10:30 am with a five-week film series called “Disruption That Heals.” Host Dave Tomlinson invites us into the thresholds — those messy, transformative spaces where faith unravels and rebuilds. Through Dave’s stories, prayers, and wisdom, you’ll explore what it means to hold questions gently, reframe old certainties, and rediscover the Divine at work within and around you. Contact Marc for the Zoom Link.
On Thursday, September 11, we begin our 5 session Fall Book Study group with “Reason To Hope” by Dave Osborne. In a world grappling with climate change, rampant pollution and collapsing ecosystems, hope can seem like a luxury.
David Osborne takes us on a profound exploration, merging insights from science and religion, counselling and campaigning, pastoral work and parenthood, to show that hope is a substantial, energising force to help us work for change. Available as an e-book through Wild Goose Publishing House. It is not necessary to read the book in order to participate in the study sessions. Please contact Marc for more details and Zoom Link.
Fellowship and Coffee Time with Marc resumes on Tuesday, September 9 and 23. Join Marc (and spaniel Millie) for a neighbourhood prayer and nature walk at 9:30 starting at the Wardlaw Entrance, or just come for coffee and conversation at 10:30.
Join the CFRUC Choir! Open to all!
Choir practice has resumed each Friday morning at 10:00 am.

To join or for more information please contact Michael Cutler at organmike@gmail.com
We look forward to hearing from you!
The Crescent Arts Centre supports emerging and established artists and creates innovation in performance, partnerships and projects.
Historically, the Crescent Arts Centre grew out of the efforts of Crescent Fort Rouge United Church in Winnipeg. CAC, a not-for-profit, remains in relationship with Crescent Fort Rouge and lodges within its walls. CAC’s Board of Directors are notable professional artists and performers dedicated to CAC’s mission to support community arts.
Living Well at 55 Plus workshops are held on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month at 📍Crescent Fort Rouge United Church 525 Wardlaw Ave. in Winnipeg’s Osborne Village.
We offer a series of interesting speakers as requested by neighbourhood older adults. The sessions are open to the public who we love to have attend! Speakers are followed by refreshments and networking. There is no cost to attend but we may ask you to give us a head’s up on your interest so we can ensure adequate supplies and refreshments.
Please pre-register to attend: email cfruc55plus@gmail.com
