Located in the heart of Music City in Nashville and steps away from the legendary Ryman Auditorium, The C&G, which has been a dream decades in the making, will open in September.

Many workers in Manitoba are set to see a slight increase in their wages this fall.

The Manitoba government says the minimum wage is to go up by 20 cents to $16 an hour.

The government says the latest increase reflects the province's 2024 inflation rate of 1.1 per cent.

Psalm 26:4–7

King David knew the sting of unjust treatment as keenly as anyone in history. To keep mistreatment from undermining his relationship with God, he put some resolutions into a song. Having committed to remaining open before the Lord and to remembering His love, David committed to letting God be the judge of others' sin.
