Mark 10:42-45

I'm sure it comes as no surprise to most of us that we act out precisely what we take in. In other words, we become what we think. Long before that familiar line found its way into Psychology 101 and hyped-up sales meetings, the Bible included it in one of its ancient scrolls. It just said it in a little different way: "For as he thinks within himself, so he is" (Proverbs 23:7). 

“Many people are feeling not fully themselves; many people are feeling isolation.”

These feelings and the many anxieties that accompany turmoil in the world, reflects Todd Sperber, make events like Saturday’s Walk for Jesus in Winnipeg all the more important.

“With narratives of rumours of wars and so much negativity and cultural division,” he says. “So we are coming together to walk for Jesus and honour and remember his life, death and resurrection.”

Winnipeg police are asking for the public’s help in locating two suspects wanted in connection with a double homicide that occurred earlier this year in the North End.

Canada-wide warrants have been issued for 24-year-old Jermain Gage Houle for second-degree murder, and 27-year-old Aaron Junior Houle for accessory after the fact. Investigators believe they are responsible for the February shooting deaths of Sheldon Derrach Catcheway, 33, and Shanastene Irene McLeod, 35.

After a tragic year, losing her entire family in a plane crash, Autumn Nelon is set to grace the stage again, this time as a solo act. 

The family group were on their way to join the Gaither Homecoming Cruise to Alaska in July 2024 when tragedy struck.

The Nelon's plane crashed, claiming the lives of Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, Amber and Nathan Kistler and their assistant, Melodi Hodges. The pilot, Larry Haynie and his wife, Melissa, were also killed in the crash. 

Worship artist Pat Barrett is bringing his Beautiful Life Tour to Winnipeg on Wednesday, April 23, and all remaining tickets are only $20 (plus fees and taxes).

The Atlanta-based singer-songwriter will perform at the Burton Cummings Theatre, joined by special guest Aodhán King, known for his work with Hillsong Young & Free.
