Easter Sunday: “O resurrected Lord, we confess that on Easter
morning, we are children on the threshold of mystery. Help us to hear

we might worship and serve you with love and freedom so that the world
may see your Presence through us.” |

small surplus. Thank-you to the generous congregations, individuals,
and corporate donors, many of whom gave sacrificially in 2005 to support
ministries for abused women in Chile, walk with AIDS sufferers in
Africa, do youth evangelism in Mongolia, assist native congregations
in Canada, and much more. |

April is convocation month at Columbia Bible College, Canadian
Mennonite University, and Conrad Grebel University College. Pray
for the new graduates of these schools as they leave the classroom
and begin a life of service in society. Pray for all these graduates
that they will find receptive faith communities who will encourage
and strengthen their gifts for ministry and service. Pray that each
one will find a faithful expression of their calling. |
