A big thank you to Tim and Rebecca of MCC who shared with us on Sunday about the situation in Colombia and the invitation to join with individuals and congregations everywhere in "Days of Prayer and Action for Colombia."
One of the ways we are participating as a congregation is by having a series of Sunday evening prayer meetings during the next few weeks (the first one was last Sunday), where we sing, light candles, hear stories, talk, pray, and open ourselves to what the Spirit may be calling us to do... This Sunday evening's gathering, including (if we're lucky) Colombian-style hot chocolate, will be at the dining hall at Willowgrove at 7:00 pm - you are invited to come, and to invite others as well!
We will be praying for Derek as he prepares for his trip to Colombia with the CPT delegation - you can read the recent Stouffville Sun-Tribune article on Derek and his trip here.
Here is a link to a 7 minute video on Colombia and our relationship (as members of Mennonite Church Canada) with the Colombian Mennonite Church.
