Congregation inspired by stories of life change

On Sunday, September 28, it was a pleasure to have a group from Adult & Teen Challenge come to serve us. We enjoyed testimonies from a few of them. It was so wonderful to hear about the way their lives have been changed, and they gave reports about how their lives have been saved because they were able to leave their addictions. One said that so many of his family and friends had died due to overdose. Derek Neufeld gave the main message, and it was a good challenge!

Baptism service on September 7, 2025: Robbie Shultz (second from left) with a friend (far left) and pastors Greg Carpan (second from right) and Jeff Plett (far right). It was a wonderful service with a message from Pastor Jeff and songs from the group Fearless.

The congregation is currently looking forward to the Thanksgiving meal, to be held on October 13.

At the last membership meeting it was decided to have Greg Carpan come on as a second pastor. Greg and Sophia (Bartel) Carpan and their little son have moved from Saskatchewan after graduating from Bible school over there. So now we are doubly blessed.

We are happy to see Brian Klassen able to attend services after having a rough time with both legs being amputated. Now he has a wonderful way of transportation with an electric wheelchair. He and his wife Sandi have passed the test of learning how to conduct dialysis in their home, making it so much easier than having to drive to Winkler.

On a recent Sunday, a group of singers visited the Red River Valley Lodge. It was good to have the seniors join in the singing. Pastor Jeff spoke about the man that was helped through the ceiling to reach Jesus for healing. It is always good to get involved with outreach!
