Gathering 2019 - In a week and a half, our nationwide MC Canada family will come together for Gathering 2019 in Abbotsford, B.C. Please pray for safe travels for the 290 people who have registered. Pray also for the Spirit to inspire us as we gather to hear each other's stories, share what the Spirit is doing in our lives and churches, and strengthen our connections with one another. And for our planners, as they wrap up final details and preparations. Stay tuned for stories and reports from your Regional Communicators and from the Canadian Mennonite. Please continue to pray for Reuben Tut, pastor of the Edmonton South Sudanese Mennonite Church. For the past two months Reuben has been in the University of Alberta Hospital due to complications arising from tuberculosis. Recently he was also diagnosed with pneumonia. Pray for his return to health, for his family, and for the church as they miss his leadership. Please keep MCA’s Vision: 20/20 process in your prayers. Pray for our relationship with God. Pray for our relationship with Each Other. Pray for our relationship with All the World.
