Live-Streaming Services Clarified by Health Minister

This week all non-essential businesses in Manitoba were closed. In an interview with CHVN, health minister Cameron Friesen clarified that "Provided that in the church those who are organizing and facilitating the service are numbered 10 or less and are observing social distancing requirements, then churches can continue to stream from their building."

Participate in Palm Sunday

Normally we would have palm branches at the door for you to wave throughout the service. Make your own Palm branches or find a palm or other plant at home that you can have nearby. Take a Picture of you and send it to us or post on social media. Don't forget to tag @prairiepreswinnipeg on instagram.Here are two palm leaves to get you started...
