Equipping No. 76 May 2007a resource packet for equipping Mennonite Church Canada pastors and leaders

   
 

Miriam Tshimanga-Maenhout is responsible for this issue of Equipping.
   

Greetings and happy Spring to everyone!

In this hard copy of equipping you will find many inspirational pieces and also items to hand out to different people in your congregations. Jack Suderman writes about “Easter and us”: how he heard about experiences in the congregations during the God’s People Now! Tour that reflect the extremes of Good Friday and of Easter Sunday! In the Celebration Story we hear that Salsa dancing and Worship do not have to be opposites and that one can reinforce the other. We know that David danced in front of the Arc. Sometimes I wish we had the freedom of our sisters and brothers of the South to move along when we sing joyful songs in the church!

If you have questions or comments, please call 1-866-888-6785 (or locally, 888-6781) or email me at . Enjoy!

PS: Can you help ensure that these resources reach the right people? Thank you!

Miriam Tshimanga – Equipping Coordinator
