Administrators: Thank you for sharing the MCEC story with your congregations. Please continue offering valuable feedback on how we can tailor announcements to empower you in your ministry.

Prayers

  1. Please pray for the MCEC community of congregations; this week we hold Église Maison de La Grâce in prayer. Pastor Josue Kanimbu Kabongo provides pastoral leadership for this congregation located in Montreal. Pray for this congregation who is called to be a place of prayer and transformation for many believers.

  2. Lord, in a world filled with uncertainty and turmoil, we ask for Your peace to calm every anxious heart and heal every divided place. Help us to choose compassion over conflict and to be instruments of Your love in our communities this week. May Your presence bring hope, unity and renewal to our hurting world.

Indigenous Relations:

Indigenous Relations

The Coalition to Dismantle the DofD facilitates a working group for Activists Living with Disabilities, lifting up the unique gifts people can offer the movement for repair and seeking justice alongside Indigenous relatives. Together, the group explores these gifts and how we can effect change towards disability justice and increased accessibility within the movement. Anyone living with any kind of disability or chronic illness is encouraged to join our monthly drop-in calls. We meet monthly on the second Wednesdays. You can register here to receive the Zoom link. 

Climate Action

God does have hands besides ours: paws and beaks, roots and branches to bring about God’s purposes. It is not all up to us, though we have our part.”  To read more about the Gospel of All Creatures, check out Doug Kaufman’s (Anabaptist Climate Collaborative) article - God does have hands besides ours | Anabaptist World.
