Engaging Our Community
The WinePRESS
This monthly newsletter is created and produced in-house, dating back to 1989.
While the newsletter is being produced monthly, we preserve the archives, because of their timeless truths that will continue to resonate through the ages. God’s Word never expires or becomes obsolete … these many words of wisdom do well for the spiritual nourishment of each individual’s soul. Read and preview the latest WinePRESS or archives (previously known as “The Vine”).

God has provided each of His people with spiritual gifts – the gift of salvation through faith, and talents which we can hone for His purposes. Like other presents, it is impossible to fully appreciate and make use of our spiritual gifts until they have been opened. This tool will help you begin to open your spiritual gifts by guiding you through this self-assessment worksheet.
Parenting Resources
“Unfortunately, though, many parents strive too hard for perfection—that somehow we “win” if we are perfect or have well-behaved kids. The truth is all parenting is imperfect and messy.” — Seven Traits of Effective Parenting, Daniel Huerta
“Inside every child is an ’emotional tank’ waiting to be filled with love.” — Gary Chapman
We cannot control what children choose to do or what they will grow up to be. Perfect children cannot be created. What can be done is leave imprints on their lives through communication, teaching, guidance, correcting and loving.
CruMedia’s parenting books range from bringing up special needs kids to manoeuvring the digital culture.
