A former Winnipeg minister is receiving widespread attention for criticizing an Alberta church that has repeatedly broken provincial public health orders.
A former Winnipeg minister is receiving widespread attention for criticizing an Alberta church that has repeatedly broken provincial public health orders.
Greg Glatz, formerly a minister at Westminster United Church and Central Baptist Church, doesn’t like being critical of another congregation. However, he says, the actions of GraceLife Church, a non-denominational church near Edmonton, have to be addressed.
The Humboldt and District Music Festival took place last week at Westminster United Church with 168 participants.
The festival had 162 piano entries and six string entries, and most of the students were from Humboldt.
“We were very happy with how it went this year,” Humboldt Music Festival coordinator April Kozar said.
This was the festival’s 84th anniversary and Weyburn’s Cherith Alexander was this year’s adjudicator.
“She was very good,” Kozar said. “She has a lot of experience that she brought with her and she was able to provide them [the participants] with some very good feedback.”
The students were able to play live for Alexander, but there were no spectators.

For more than 65 years, St. George’s Anglican Church has celebrated Christmas with a special carol service.
For more than 65 years, St. George’s Anglican Church has celebrated Christmas with a special carol service.
For many generations of families in the parish and across the city, attending the service modelled after the service of Lessons and Carols begun at Truro Cathedral in the United Kingdom in 1880 has been a cherished Christmas tradition. But this year that isn’t possible because of the pandemic. Parish leadership felt, this year more than ever, to uphold this tradition to celebrate this service, especially as so many parishes have cancelled their special Christmas services entirely, Christopher Thomson, a longtime member of the church, said.
