Small Hands, Big Hearts: Sharing God’s Love with Local Recovery CentreThis Valentine’s Day, four classes of LCS Grade 4 students are proving that you are never too young to make a difference and impact in your community! In a beautiful display of compassion and service, our students have spent the last few weeks preparing gift bags for the 45 residents currently living at the Union Gospel Mission (UGM) Recovery Center in Winnipeg.
The project was a lesson in stewardship and empathy. Beyond collecting donations, the students worked diligently to earn their own money to purchase essential hygiene products and treats for the residents. The hands-on outreach initiative allowed the students to experience the value of hard work in the service of others.
The special gift bags also included spiritual encouragement. Each student wrote a personal letter to a resident, carefully selecting a Bible verse to offer hope and share a heartfelt message that they are being covered in prayer.
This project was a practical way for our students to step outside themselves and show the love of Christ to those navigating difficult seasons. Grade 4 teachers hope that the UGM residents feel seen, known, and deeply loved—not just by our students, but by their Heavenly Father.
The gift bags, complete with a Valentine’s treat, will be delivered to the UGM Recovery Center on February 14. We are so proud of our Grade 4s for modeling what it means to love our neighbors in such a tangible way.
