The Upstairs Gathering rebooted this past week. Until Advent it will be in a season of experimenting with a more liturgical flavour. In the past few years there has been quite a bit of community jam for exploring the gifts of the contemplative life – good things have been happening. The Men’s retreat and the […]
Parents, we are so excited as we launch into Imaginative Prayer with the Grade 1-7 this fall and winter! Jared Patrick Boyd is the author.

Flatlanders Studio is hosting a new art show Selcouth: A Look Into the Upbringing of Winnipeg’s Metal Musicians by Amy Lee Zinn. Selcouth traces 20 individuals who are active members of the metal community at large in Winnipeg, representing many different sub-genres, roles, personalities and backgrounds, while still remaining just a small snapshot of the
We’re excited to be all together again this Fall. We have a sense that as we attend to each other, our neighbours and Jesus, that God will be present to us in many special ways. We’ve been called to worship, develop a safe community, and work to see his Kingdom of justice established. Below are
Our parking lot is becoming a movie set for one week in September. Netflix will be filming a scene in a “post tsunami disaster in Seattle” movie called “How It Ends”. The props will include numerous smashed vehicles which will be piled up against the building by the disaster (the cars won’t actually touch the building).

The rebuilding of the KTM VINEYARD HUB is well underway. The old apartment is gone. Church meetings are still held in the old sanctuary. Access is difficult because the building materials can only be delivered by truck on Saturday / Sundays, which means the people need to single file along a narrow path to the
Here are a few National gatherings that you may want to participate in this Fall. We hosted the first Metanoia gathering a few years back and they are wonderful times of engagement, worship and encouragement in a unique format (they’re not typical conferences). Jared Boyd (our friend who taught in the first School of Spiritual
We experience an overdose of activity because of all the things expected of us. Life is often characterized by doing and busyness. It’s difficult to dial down into quietness; to rest, reflect, and simply be. This kind of contemplative life seems to evade us. This year we want to consider the benefits of cultivating an inner life that
Over the last year, we have spent much time in conversation about our Vineyard School of Justice (VSOJ), and about what God may be inviting us into this next season. In short, we sense his pleasure over the VSOJ these past four years – that it has accomplished what it was intended to – and that
WCV family, This short report will bring you the latest update on WCV’s financial situation. As we enjoy the summer we are seeing our deficit increase to a level that needs attention. At July 31, we had an operating deficit of $35,699 which is at the maximum level that we can manage our cash flow
As many of you may already be aware, the Himalayan Region Vineyard’s AVC release party and conference which was planned for this Fall has been postponed due to political unrest. There have been ongoing strikes in the Darjeeling area of the Himalayan Region of India. The massive movement of people, foreigners and locals alike, would have attracted undue

We’ve discovered more about ourselves and become more aware of God’s movement in our lives. We’ve created
