St. Aidan's
School
What started as a daily lunch program with homemade casseroles, bags of oranges, cookies and
milk, quickly grew into pizza and subway sandwiches, and then hot meals.
St. Aidan's
How It All Started
Joy Lutheran Church has been privileged to support a local mission in the heart of Winnipeg.
St. Aidan’s is an Independent School that teaches the Manitoba Curriculum through the lens of the Christian Faith. All of the staff are committed believers of the teachings of Jesus Christ, and are passionate about educating children, both spiritually and intellectually.
Joy Lutheran Church has been involved for many years supporting a variety of programs for both campuses:

What started as a daily lunch program with homemade casseroles, bags of oranges, cookies and
milk, quickly grew into pizza and subway sandwiches, and then hot meals. Over the years, and
after the school attendance reached capacity, St Aidan's hired a kitchen lunch program
supervisor and cook. This provided new opportunities for Joy Lutheran Church.
We became involved in hosting and supporting a family reception following the Christmas program complete with refreshments, gift bags for the students and teachers. Our congregation supported a sport socks and school supplies drive, every September.
Our congregation financed the construction of a pass-through lunch service area and new flooring at the Hargrave campus, built new library cabinetry with books and art supplies, musical instruments and new classroom chairs.
Joy continues to host Staff appreciation events at Christmas and the end of the School Year. Most recently, each year Joy provides personalized Bibles and handmade cross bookmarks for the students in Grade 5.
Joy Lutheran Church continues to provide financial support and prayers for St Aidan's Christian School and enjoys the relationship we have nurtured over the years with the Staff, students and the school Board of Directors.
Each year, new opportunities arise for the Joy congregation to continue to be involved in the work at St Aidan's Christian School and we are truly blessed to be a part of God’s work in this community.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
