Equipping No. 38 July 2003
a resource packet for equipping Mennonite Church Canada pastors and leaders

The warm summer months have arrived! After such a long winter it is a welcome sight to see the green grass, the flowers, and the warm sun. Our Assembly is just around the corner and our office is busy with the planning. We hope to see you there. This month our Equipping package has information for everyone in your congregation; we hope it is helpful to all.

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.

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