Prayers

1. 1. Please pray for the MCEC community of congregations. This week we are praying for Bloomingdale Mennonite Church. Zac Klassen provides pastoral leadership for this community. Pray for this congregation as they follow their call to a dynamic relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
      

        

   2. We pray for peace in our world, asking for compassion and understanding in the face of violence and fear. We especially remember Australia and those affected by the recent shooting. We pray for comfort for the injured, those who lost loved ones, first responders and all who are affected by this tragedy. God, make us channels of your peace. Where there is hatred, let us bring Your love.
