Letter from our Moderator, Brenda Tiessen-Wiens and our Executive Minister, Tim Wiebe-Neufeld, to our Prime Minister

Dear Prime Minister:

As leaders in what are often called the historic peace churches, we are deeply concerned about the current situation in Israel-Palestine. As citizens of Canada we come with several requests of our government and our elected representatives. We wholeheartedly reject the violence that has occurred since October 7th in Israel and Gaza. We feel the pain of Israelis and Palestinians. We seek to uplift the shared humanity of all. We recognize the ongoing trauma on all sides. We grieve with all those who have lost loved ones and whose safety and security has been harmed. We pray for peace to come to the Holy Land shared among the three great Abrahamic faiths. READ FULL LETTER HERE.

What I learned from my visit with a Kurdish family

Nov 28th, 2023

What I learned from my visit with a Kurdish family

By Suzanne Gross

God has given us the intelligence of wisdom in Christ to grapple with stories and histories and to see as clearly as Jesus did what oppression and displacement and dispossession and exclusion look like. Our refusal to live into this wisdom is perhaps the greatest sin of our time. Jesus models for us and invites us to believe the stories of the vulnerable, the dispossessed, the displaced, the excluded. And in that belief of story, we will find ways to heal and reunite all of humanity – in the spirit of Christ. That is our calling.

I pray every day that God will give me the wisdom to listen to stories and histories with trust and compassion – so that I, like Jesus, can contribute to healing back into community.

Help! Why? Thank you!

Help! Why? Thank you!

By Rachel Siemens

Help! Why? Thank you! Sorry I’ve neglected you.

These are the words that describe the prayer life of my teens and early twenties. These words were offered by me to God. Words were the instrument of my prayers. And then one day I couldn’t find the words. I did not know what words to pray. I could not find the words to express what I needed/wanted. The source of my restlessness and unsettledness was a mystery to me, so how could I ask God for help when I didn’t really know what it was I needed?

Never to Return

By Ryan Dueck

Millions of Americans are leaving church, never to return…
That seems a rather bold claim.

For Your Prayers

Continue to keep the people of Myanmar in your prayers as conflict there continues, forcing people to leave their homes.

Pastor Leng Thang of the Calgary Chin Christian Church reports that many cities and villages are struggling with food shortages as the transportation links are being used by the military. Food prices have significantly increased. Internet lines have been cut creating communication challenges. Children haven’t been in school for two years, since the coup, and now idle youth are damaging their lives with drugs and alcohol. Some pastors are being tortured, arrested and some churches have been burned down.

Please pray for the Chin people both those in Myanmar and those who have left their homes and families behind. Consider making a donation to meet the urgent needs of the Chin people.

As leaders within Mennonite Church Canada, we commit ourselves anew to working for climate justice and a sustainable future for all God’s creation and all God’s children. We commit to engaging deeply as a nationwide community of faith, inviting congregations and regional churches into discernment regarding the ways we as a church can respond to the climate crisis.
