LUTHER VILLAGE NEWS:

Here is the latest news from the lakeside: The 53rd season of outdoor ministry is getting under way – for more than a week already. Some staff are out and preparing for the wonderful campers to come down that breath-taking hairpin and enjoy all we are planning to make this an exceptional season.

Here is the link to our newsletter – hot off the press.
http://www.luthervillage.ca/newsletter.html

Please take some time to meet the staff, catch up on news, and if you haven’t yet, plan for this years’ visit out to LV. Please note our Work Weekend date has changed and is NOT the typical Mothers Day weekend it has been for many years, so try to put it in your schedule to join us for that May 13-15, 2016.

As we are moving and settling in at camp, keep in mind if you are trying to reach us, it takes us another week or two to get connected back up to the world with technology, so please be patient if you don’t hear from us for a while.

PS…those anxious to know the ice-on-the-lake status…it’s melting and the prediction is the ice should be out by the weekend.

N.E.S.T. 2016 NEWS: 

Update from the annual meeting held on Apr.26, 2016:  

*Huge Heartfelt Thanks went out to the congregation of Kildonan United Church for their long and faithful support, also to Grace Lutheran for allowing NEST to hold regular meetings and other events at their church, and other help. Special thanks to the NEST executive and to all NEST members for all their work on behalf of NEST, and for their thoughtful, diligent and kindly support in so many ways; as well a very special thanks to two members who have retired from the executive, Russ Bennett and Larry Dreger.

*Sponsorships:

Completed - Two sponsorships have officially ended in the past NEST fiscal year, since February 28, 2015.

Outstanding - At present NEST has four full sponsorships in various stages of processing by Canada lmmigration.

Active- NEST has one active sponsorship in Winnipeg.

*Three Citizenship Courts on March 9, March 24, and November 23, 2015 – NEST provided and served refreshments. Home baking is no longer allowed and NEST no longer brings spoken greetings with a brief outline of what we do; our written submission is read aloud by a Court official. Names of helpers must now be provided several days beforehand for security reasons.

*NEST’S Refugee Coordinator Jim Mair is Vice President of the Canadian Council for Refugees (CCR) and co-Chair of the Manitoba Refugee Sponsors (MRS). ln March he spoke about NEST at a Health Canada Office, and also at Alem Asghedom's  Social Work class at the University of Manitoba.  

*Two NEST Potluck Dinners - The Dinner at Kildonan United Church on May 3, 2015, featured a very interesting presentation by Rev. Deb Kerr from Lutheran Urban Ministry and entertainment by the Bahatizz Family Singers. At the NEST Potluck Dinner at St. Nicholas Church, in Narol, on February 21, 2016 young Shaden Abusaleh gave an excellent, very informative talk on the present situation in Syria and we enjoyed Esther Juce singing and playing the bandura.  As usual, the food was delicious at both dinners and the hospitality was very warm.

*The NEST pamphlet was revised in May by Past Chair Annemarie Maclntosh.

*Canadian Council for Refugees Spring Consultation was held in Winnipeg on May 21-23, 2015. Jim and Ethel Mair, Doreen Thorlacius and Ursula Fuchs attended as members of NEST. FikreTsehai, Refugee Coordinator of CLWR, was in Winnipeg to attend the CCR Consultation, and we were very pleased to have him speak at the NEST May general meeting.

*The NEST Summer Picnic was hosted at Winnipeg Beach on August 15, 2015, by Winnipeg Beach United Church. They have generously done this every other year for many years. This time, our enjoyment of outdoor games and good food was interrupted by the early arrival of rain. Dessert and fellowship continued inside the church nearby, before we returned to Winnipeg on the chartered bus. The Outreach Committee at Winnipeg Beach kindly provided a basket of children's and other books to take home.

*At the CLWR Beaverbrae Reunion on October 3, 2O15, Koffi Sedzro spoke about life in a refugee camp, and Doreen spoke about NEST. Doreen also spoke about NEST and refugees to a school club at River Heights Junior High School in February 2016.

*NEST lncorporation - NEST became incorporated under the laws of the Province of Manitoba on October 26, 2O15 as the North End Sponsorship Team (N.E.S.T.) lnc.

*NEST's new legal mailing address is 211 Kimberly Avenue, Winnipeg MB R2K 0X3. In late February 2O16, NEST asked Grace Lutheran Church for permission

*Members of Grace Lutheran attended the NEST General Meeting in February 2016, because their church council is planning to sponsor a refugee family as a special outreach of the congregation, with some guidance and help from NEST. Fundraising is well underway and recruitment of caregivers will begin soon. Once these steps are completed, they plan to apply for a sponsorship through NEST.

*Presentation on Cameroon given by Pastor Lynne, Pastor Katharine Bergbusch on their trip to the Cameroon.

*2016 is NEST's 3Oth Anniversary Year! Many thanks for everyone who has inspired us and who has helped NEST in any way!
