Agriculture is one of the most dangerous professions in the world. The most recent federal report indicates that there are 85 fatalities, on average on Canadian farms every year. While that number is a grim reality for the industry, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), along with support from the Neepawa UCT and the Beautiful Plains Ag Society, are doing everything they can to ensure that our area’s youth understand the danger and avoid the risk.

Sunday, June 10, was a day for celebration for Christ Lutheran in Neepawa with the Sunday Morning Service and Sunday School Picnic planned at Neepawa’s Riverbend Park. Pastor Will Rose welcomed everyone to the service. Organist for the day was Judy Gabler, who so graciously brought her electric organ to enhance the service. The sermon theme, The Unforgivable Sin was based on Mark 3:20-35, a passage where some people accused Jesus of working with the devil, not God the Father. Jesus warned them and all about this sin. Thankfully God in His mercy forgives us our sins through the work of His Son. We all have many sins that we’ve committed but we know that God knows all of our sins and yet still forgives us. He invites us to witness to family and friends and family and encourage them in the faith at every opportunity.
