LCC's ABC District and various people involved in the CEF/DIL debacle will be required to explain themselves to the government this coming May 2019 - nearly 9 months from today. I haven't seen an official announcement from the ASC yet so it looks like CTV had someone keeping a close eye on developments. CTV's article... Continue Reading →
By Dennis Kendel Board Chair, Faith Lutheran Church Saskatoon Our church, the LCC, is in the midst of a crisis. This is not a crisis thrust upon us by sinister external forces - this is a crisis of our own leadership’s making. If our leadership can come to humbly accept this fact, we will have taken...
