On April 7, 2025, Grande Prairie RCMP received a complaint of a suspicious person and vehicle. Upon approach by RCMP members, the vehicle fled the scene at a high rate of speed. Members noted vehicle information for further investigation. On April 10, 2025, the vehicle was seen by a Grande Prairie RCMP Police Dog Services member, who advised the Grande Prairie RCMP CRU (Crime Reduction Unit). Grande Prairie RCMP CRU were able to locate the vehicle and conduct a traffic stop, which led to the arrests of the two individuals found within.

Corey Lueck has been in music for as long as he can remember and now has a new song out, "Not Finished With Me."

"My dad played the saxophone, my brother plays guitar and bass and my sister plays piano. I actually started as a drummer," Lueck said. "I also loved singing."

Lueck's love for music led Corey and his brother to start a rock band. "At this time, I really was not a Christian. I always believed in God, but I grew up Catholic and I didn't take it seriously."

A year after his death, tributes continue to pour in for TobyMac Diverse City member Gabe Patillo.

Patillo, a multi-talented man who, by age ten, was dancing onstage alongside DC Talk, passed away following a battle with pancreatic cancer in April 2024.

Another American Idol performance, another opportunity to glorify God. 

Breanna Nix took to the stage on Sunday in Hawaii for American Idol's top 24 performances, using the stage as a place to lead worship.

Nix sang Lauren Daigle's "Still Rolling Stones," bringing the crowd to their feet and hands in worship. Even the artist in residence, Jelly Roll, had his hands in the air. 

"That was amazing," said Carrie Underwood. "We joined you in your beautiful moment. That beautiful, big voice just overtook everybody. So much power. So much heart behind it."

Dr. Wade Abbott and his research team at AAFC Lethbridge are embarking on a groundbreaking study aimed at unlocking new possibilities for the humble field pea, a crop primarily known for its use in food production.

The project will explore underutilized aspects of the legume, including its protein, starch, and fibre, with an eye on developing new food and non-food products that could benefit both the agricultural and industrial sectors.

The Alberta government and its auditor general are at odds over the province’s decision to bring lawyers directly into the investigation surrounding multimillion-dollar health contracts.

The issue arose after the Opposition NDP revealed a leaked email this week from Alberta Health that directs public servants to contact a lawyer to co-ordinate if auditor general Doug Wylie requests an interview as part of his investigation.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is promising to tighten financial transparency rules for elected officials — and is using that promise to take aim at Liberal Leader Mark Carney.

Poilievre told a press conference in Ottawa on Sunday that if his party forms government, he'll ban what he calls "shadow lobbying."

1 Corinthians 15:1, 3-4

The resurrection of Christ

"Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. ... For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures."
