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

Greetings from the staff at MC Canada! With this issue of Equipping we also debut our very first issue of e-Equipping – the electronic version of this information packet. If you would like to receive this in electronic form, just send a message to me and include your email address. Please note that the Mennonite Church Canada Annual Assembly (July 9-13, St. Catharines, ON) is just around the corner. The early bird registration deadline is May 31st, so send in your registration forms soon to save a few bucks! And note that an Assembly Sunday Worship At Home Guide is also included in this packet. The MC Canada web site has more information on the Assembly — please visit mennonitechurch.ca/events/stcath/ for up to date schedules and information. And, remember to forward the contents of this packet to the appropriate people in your congregation.

Thanks for your help! Karen Peters – Equipping Coordinator – email: kpeters@mennonitechurch.ca
