Family Recipes on kehler.ca
The extended Berliner Kehler family possess treasured recipes, some handed down through generations, that are not only beloved because of delicious taste, but because it evokes memories of favorite family get-togethers, a holiday or a treasured family member. We all have favorite foods that seem to be served only when someone special is visiting or when visiting Grandma’s house. It only makes sense that we would now take the time to collect and share these recipes with one another, before they are lost with the passing of each Berliner Kehler.
This is a work in progress which will hopefully result in a treasury of favorite Kehler recipes for generations to come. Submitted recipes will be posted on the “Family Recipes” page of this website. Please share recipes of today or the past, by emailing them to Berliner Kehler Recipes . Thanks for caring to share!

Camille: A Woman’s Devotional Companion
A little germ of an idea from one of the big themes in our Advent book can actually be traced back to you, my Kehler clan, through a Kehler funeral I attended in 2006.
by Karla Hildebrandt Kroeker
Growing up, a deep love for Christ and His Church was instilled and nurtured in me, and growing up in the family I did, a true passion for reading, ideas, and conversation was sparked and developed. Over the years, I’ve been extremely fortunate to have had many opportunities to combine these loves in a variety of ways, both through teaching High School English for about 10 years, and through my work as Minister of Worship in my church for the past 6 years.
CMC Heritage Project at Randolph, MB
In the 1870’s Mennonites, known as Die Mennonitische Gemeinde zu Chortitz, came to Canada from Russia and landed at the junction of the Red and Rat Rivers (near present day Ste. Agathe). From there, they journeyed east and built their first church at Chortitz (present day Randolph) and established a cemetery where today, over 400 people are buried.

Interest has been expressed in restoring the cemetery and preserving it as a heritage site. In the same way as the Israelites took stones from the riverbed to recall the crossing of the Jordan into the promised land for future generations, this cemetery is a reminder to many of their spiritual heritage. In October 2009, the CMC Ministerial approved its designation as a Heritage Cemetery. Continue reading “CMC Heritage Project at Randolph, MB”
A Salute to Grandma
A Tribute to Louise Olson, born Louise Vera Gladys Reimer, a Berliner Kehler
Too often we let our lives go by without making proper homage to the ones we love.
A Tribute to Louise Olson, born Louise Vera Gladys Reimer, a Berliner Kehler
Too often we let our lives go by without making proper homage to the ones we love. I am taking this opportunity to share some memories and impressions of a very dear and special person to me – my grandma. Many times I have thanked God for giving me such a remarkable grandmother: she has taught me much, given me much.
My earliest memories of Grandmother begin when I was a young child growing up in southern Manitoba. Grandma and my family both lived on Boyne Street in Morris; being only a short distance away meant that we saw her quite often, sometimes more than once a day. There were also many days and nights when she hosted us youngsters. Continue reading “A Salute to Grandma”
