Equipping
a resource packet for equipping Mennonite Church Canada pastors and leaders

No. 35 April 2003

This time of year always brings to mind a renewal of life, hope, and peace. My hope is that peace will prevail throughout the world. In our edition this month please note the letter from Dan Nighswander, Resource updates, and the Youth Assembly information.

Remember that you can help us all “do together what we cannot do alone” by ensuring the items in this issue find a home with the right person in your congregation.
