Signposts: A loving community

Most people in the world long to be part of a group where they are loved, accepted and forgiven. I know I do. That’s why there is something attractive about genuine Christian community.

An unconventional convention

Mennonite Chuch USA’s Phoenix 2013 convention next summer will include an unconventional purpose: to educate participants about immigration issues on the ground, create public witness events in the city and then have those in Phoenix return home to replicate the experiences for those who missed the convention.

Prayers and burdens

I wish I could say that people come to church for my sermons. The pews are filled instead because we want to be there to hear the prayers, sharing aloud our joys and concerns, bringing them before God and receiving each voice as an invitation into the body of Christ. Through prayer our lives are mingled, becoming part of one another …
