Philippians 2:1-2

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.

Until she started working at Naomi House, Candace Loewen was unfamiliar with the many challenges faced by refugees.

“I knew what a refugee was, but that was the extent of my knowledge,” she recalls. “I really had no clue.”

Now, as Director of Refugee Sponsorship at the church-based ministry in Winnipeg, she helps others learn about the experiences of newcomers to Canada who have fled war, famine and any number of other traumatic situations.

The wait is over! Tonight we celebrate 25 years of CHVN with the Birthday Bash Grand Finale at True North Square (242 Hargrave St.)!

We’ve been celebrating all summer long, and now 120 qualifiers will compete for their chance to take home one of the incredible $10,000 prizes from our amazing sponsors: Aloha Plumbing, Booth University College, Furniture Villa Brand Source, Indigeno Travel, and Luxe Furniture Company.

Kristin Okhmatovski used to think she couldn’t be an artist.

“There was a point in my life where I thought I couldn’t be an artist because I wasn’t skilled at watercolour,” she says. “Then I slowly discovered there were so many other mediums you could use to create – where you could feel successful and accomplished.”

It was out of that experience that Cartizan Studio was born.

It was a leap of faith and a test of courage that led Lisa to establish Little Luxuries House & Carpet Cleaning.

After 15 years in a career that was no longer fulfilling her, and just having gotten off a night shift and contemplating her future, she visited her brother for a morning cup of coffee and prayed.

"God, please reveal to me my strengths and the wisdom you created me for. Help me figure out which direction to go in. No sooner had I said this when a gentleman walked into my brother’s yard.”

2 Timothy 1:13-14

What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

As Manitobans return to school and work following summer holidays, Britt Kural hopes immunization is part of their fall and winter wellness plans.

“It’s a simple thing to get done that impacts an entire population,” she says. “By getting a vaccine each fall, you protect yourself, your children, your frail relatives and even strangers. You can help people avoid getting seriously ill from the flu or from COVID.”

For over two decades, the winehouse has quietly grown into a cornerstone of Winnipeg's wine scene. Nestled in Kenaston Common, the family-run store has been helping locals find the perfect bottle for any occasion since 1999.

It started with a passion for cooking and a dream. It’s become a journey of 25 years, and counting.

“In January we’re going to start celebrating our 25th year, and we’ll be doing a lot of exciting things,” says Danny Kleinsasser, owner and founder of Danny’s Whole Hog.

Back in 2001, it was a simple operation. Kleinsasser had 25 barbecues, and he and his staff would train customers on how to roast a pig for their corporate get-together or family event. People loved it. They also had suggestions to make the business even better.
