Springridge Mennonite host joint service with Lethbridge Mennonite
by Tany Warkentin, Pastoral Leader, Springridge Mennonite Church
On October 20, Springridge MC hosted a joint worship service with Lethbridge MC. The worship included a lot of participation from both churches - from candle-lighting to readings, music, and teachings. The focus was on how, within community, we need to "carry" each other to Jesus as the four friends did with the paralytic man (Mark 2:1-12). It was a powerful time of celebrating community within our broader Mennonite church, building relationship, inter-generational worship and of course, eating together. Plans are being made for a similar joint service in spring, hosted by the Lethbridge Mennonite Church.
