CHVN surprises Steinbach woman facing long recovery with musical gift

For months, the Steinbach community has been rallying behind Tasha Wiese as she recovers from a life-changing amputation and ongoing health challenges.  

The road has been long, but Tasha continues to draw strength from the love and support of her family, and even from her four-legged companion. 

Verse of the Day: August 16

2 Corinthians 7:1

Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
