We encourage you to include one of the following notes of interest in your
church bulletin
each Sunday this month. Because some information is sensitive, it is excluded
from
the online version - congregations receive hard copies in the Equipping package
that has all the information.
This is how your financial support of Mennonite Church Canada WITNESS is
ministering
...from across the street to around the world!
