Craig joined us July 2012. He is in the office Monday - Thursday and his door is usually open so drop in and say hello. Craig describes himself as a spiritual progressive and is committed to inclusive and affirming ministry. Outside of the office Craig enjoys hiking, canoeing, reading, coaching soccer, music and social occasions. 

Years ago I was one of the founding members of Samaritan House Ministries and currently I facilitate parenting groups for a parent child coalition. I also work privately with individuals one on one for healing and am a distance ed student with the University of Manitoba. I am a married, mother of 4 adult daughters, 3 adult step-son and 14 grandchildren and 2 great children. I started attending Knox’s United Church about a year ago to bring my grandchildren (well some of them). When one of daughters and grandchildren lived in Rivers we attended the Rivers United Church and I taught Sunday school. Now that they live in Brandon we were looking for a spiritual community in Brandon; we really connected with the Knox beliefs. I love to learn and grow, and believe in supporting our children to take a deeper look at life and the meaning of life, and to know we were all born for a reason. I explore that daily with different practices. 

Sharon is the friendly voice you hear on the phone. She knows everything that is going on at the Church and is able to answer almost every question directed her way. Some of her responsibilities are to prepare the bulletin for Sunday service and facilitate communication among members of the council and congregation with minutes and reports. She also oversees the work of volunteers who help in the office on a weekly basis.

Bernie is responsible for all choir and Combo music. He organizes an amazing Choir Concert each spring which showcases the many talented musicians we have within the congregation. He has been Choir Director at Knox for about 10 years.

Jane is the church organist and pianist. She provides appropriate and impressive music each week at worship as well as at weddings and many funerals. She is also a huge part of the Spring Choir Concert. Jane has been organist at Knox for about 15 years.

Charles is responsible for keeping the Church clean and tidy - no small task with the number of people using the Church on a regular basis! Charles has been with Knox since 2007.
