Submitted by mike.thom on Fri, 11/15/2024 - 06:00

The date is set - Agape Table will officially break ground at their new location on Friday, Nov. 15. 

The non-profit currently serves meals out of the basement of The Wave Church at 364 Furby Street in Winnipeg.  

“We’re moving right beside where we are right now,” says executive director Jim Steep. “We’re at 364 Furby, but our offices are at 356 Furby, and right beside that, at 350 Furby is where the new building will be.”

Thick fog continues to cover much of southern Manitoba, with advisories first issued last night remaining in effect as of 5 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 14.

Winnipeg is included in the advisory, and conditions are challenging for motorists outside the city, where visibility has been reduced to roughly two car lengths in many areas.

Environment Canada’s advisory, issued Wednesday night, lists areas affected across southern Manitoba, including Dugald, Beausejour, Grand Beach, Steinbach, St. Adolphe, and the Whiteshell region.

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.

Style meets safety with sling bags: UNpacking with U.N. Luggage

Submitted by mike.thom on Thu, 11/14/2024 - 06:00

Many travellers know the drill.

Passport? Check. Wallet? Check. Keys? Check. And then there might be sunglasses, hygiene products, medications and any number of important items you’d prefer to keep on your person. You’d also like to return to your hotel or AirBnB – or home – with everything you packed.

At the same time, you’d prefer not to look like a pack mule. You’ve reached that tourist’s conundrum: “I need to keep my belongings safe, but I also want to feel like a person.”

Thankfully, U.N. Luggage has the solution.

Verse of the Day: November 13

1 Peter 2:15-16

For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves.
