Volunteers have been at the heart of the Common Ground grow project for 15 years, and this latest effort was no different.
    
Local growers showed up at the field Tuesday with nine combines, a handful of grain carts and semis to take off and deliver 300 acres of Canadian Northern Hard Red Spring Wheat for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. 

It all started in 2010 when the Penner family reached out, looking to have their land used for this purpose.

Filled with eye-catching artwork and vivid colour, The Real Story of Jesus has been watched over 2.7 million times and over 180,000 of those people have decided to follow Christ.

After passing away on September 9, well-known Hollywood actor James Earl Jones is being remembered for his deep voice and impact on many. 

While Jones was involved in many different movies and TV shows, he's most known as the voice of Darth Vadar in the first filmed Star Wars series in the late 70s and early 80s. He also gave life to the wise father lion, Mufasa, in The Lion King, released in 1994. 

Jones died at the age of 93 years old at his home in Dutchess County, New York, surrounded by family. 

St. Anne's Poplar Point is one of the, if not the only, heritage buildings and churches of its era still operating as a church. Member Monica Griffiths says they just finished major renovations this past week, and for a short time, you could see the original timbers used for the walls as they were exposed during the renovation. The church was built around 1850.

On Thursday the foreign ministry spokesperson from China announced that the country will no longer allow any international adoption, leaving dozens of children with no home.

Kamala Harris pushed back on Donald Trump's claims about immigration and abortion as the two leaders met face-to-face for the first time on a debate stage in Philadelphia Tuesday.

The matchup marked a pivotal moment during the final sprint of a close race for the White House and saw Trump and Harris lay out starkly different visions for the future of America. 

While it started with a handshake, the debate quickly saw the Democratic vice-president and Republican former president zero in on each other's records. 

Widespread smoke from wildfires burning in Saskatchewan has led Environment Canada to issue an air quality advisory for Manitoba. 

Thick smoke began pouring into Manitoba Tuesday evening causing very poor air quality. Today the smoke is expected to stick around and hit northeastern Manitoba down to the southwestern portion of the province.. 

During heavy smoke conditions, Environment Canada says everyone is at risk regardless of their age or health. They say the fine particles in wildfire smoke pose the main health risk.

Psalm 121:1-2

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
    where does my help come from?
 My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.

Hebrews 13:1-3

Who really cared? His was a routine admission to busy Bellevue Hospital. A charity case, one among hundreds. A drunken man from the Bowery with a slashed throat. The Bowery...last stop before the morgue.

The derelict's name was misspelled on the hospital form, but then what good is a name when the guy's a bum? The age was also incorrect. He was 38, not 39, and looked twice that. Somebody might have remarked, "What a shame for one so young," but no one did. Because no one cared.
