Greetings! This blog is being created to have a space to post articles and thoughts about opinions, dreams, stories, and happenings within our church community and beyond.

I've found Community Mennonite Church to be a very friendly and empowering environment, encouraging each one to use their gifts and interests within our church and our community.

Each person brings something very special to our congregation. We have a wide variety of gifts and talents in our church, and I love seeing how God uses them in many unique and incredible ways. Agriculture, music, writing, financing, restorative justice, languages, teaching, speaking: these are only few of the many areas that members of our church are using their talents.

Seeing others use their gifts is such a good reminder for me as I am thinking about post-secondary education for next year. It is very encouraging to see that God will use me in ways that involve my passions and gifts, just as he uses those in our congregation.

We are a people sharing our faith and expressing it through our work both across the street and around the world. We are a people sharing common values and beliefs, though each with their own voice.

This online blog will hopefully be a place that we can write back and forth, using our voices and sharing our gifts.

Rejoice and be glad!

Rebecca
