Volunteer Information Session

On January 31, 2018January 31, 2018 By Community Link ReginaIn Ministry Needs

At CityKidz Regina, they believe every child should have the right to have hope, dream big, and have a positive future. To accomplish this, they provide children living in under-privileged communities a Saturday afternoon program, free of charge, through which the children learn love, hope and faith. This is followed up with weekly home visits.

By volunteering at CityKidz, you will impact the lives of these children, and help to build the next generation of leaders within our schools, communities, city and province. You will also be part of the solution to the rising criminal activity in our city, as research has shown that a child’s behaviour will change significantly when there is even one positive adult figure in his or her life.

Volunteer information Session
Date: Thursday, February 15 at 7:00 p.m.
Location: 1475 Athol St. (Dewdney doors), Regina, SK

Healing Hearts Ministries – Project 300

On November 23, 2017November 23, 2017 By Community Link ReginaIn Ministry Needs

As members of Healing Hearts Ministries, Nick & Vivian Helliwell serve in Regina’s aboriginal and inner city communities. Having lived in Regina most of their lives, they offer insightful, empathetic perspectives on the street-level and First Nations ministries.

In addition to serving as Healing Hearts’ Pastor of Men’s Ministry, Nick’s ministry includes serving as a half-time chaplain at the Regina Provincial Corrections Centre, being a chaplain with the Regina Qu’Appelle Health District, and visiting the Community Training Residence where men from the jail transition back to the community. To learn more about the Helliwells’ involvement in the community, please click here.

Earlier this year, Nick and Vivian suffered a personal tragedy when their eldest daughter passed away. They subsequently took in her seven children, and their other daughter plus her son moved in to help. With the foster child they already had, they now have twelve members in their household.

The stress and financial strain of the situation contributed to Nick having a heart attack in October. Being unable to work for a month enhanced their financial difficulties. They need our support! A one-time donation would be a blessing, but what they really need is ongoing monthly support. Please pray about whether you can help these valuable members of our community.

Summer to Remember 2017 – A CityKidz Project

On June 13, 2017 By Community Link ReginaIn Ministry Needs

Share the gifts of faith, hope, and love with inner city kids by making Summer 2017 one to remember.

For many inner city children, summer means two long and boring months until school begins again, simply because their families can’t afford the activities other children are involved in during summer vacation. Many of these children have never had the opportunity to experience camp life – a unique and often life-changing experience.

In 2016, CityKidz was able to help 30 children experience various summer camps, and this year they would love to increase that number to 45. But they need our help to do so! There are numerous expenses involved, including registration fees, transportation, sleeping bags, Bibles, and canteen costs. No gift is too small. $25 can help cover the cost of a sleeping bag. $100 will send one child to camp.

If you would like to help inner city children have a Summer to Remember, you can donate online, or mail cheques to:
CityKidz Regina
P.O. Box 3112
Regina, SK S4P 3G7

For more information, please contact Donna at 306-529-8656 or email her at donna@citykidz.ca.
