Today is Church Education
Sunday in Mennonite Church
Canada and Mennonite Church USA. You are invited to give thanks,
pray for and call attention to the educational ministry of the
Mennonite Church’s schools, from elementary through graduate
levels. Pray for our students, teachers, staff, and school boards;
that God might transform and use their excitement, knowledge and
experiences to be a blessing. Pray that God and the church will
support our schools and help them be faithful to our calling to
engage the world with the reconciling Gospel of Jesus Christ. |

The Mennonite Church Canada Learning
Tour to Cuba ends tomorrow (Feb 11). Please pray that God would use this 7 day
experience to teach those from Canada and those in the host country
about God’s love and work in the world. |
Today is the First Sunday of Lent, the
beginning of a season in which we pay extra attention to the
faith formation and renewal of God’s people. Your support
allows Mennonite Church Canada to produce intergenerational material
such as Out of the Depths: 2008 Lent at
Home Resource (www.mennonitechurch.ca/tiny/523),
and KidsPak: Burkina Faso: The Little Church in the Big City,
(www.mennonitechurch.ca/tiny/531).
These resources nurture worship, stewardship and mission among
the younger members of the family of God. Thank you for your
help! |
