Tuesday, November 5 is election day in the United States, and many of us feel very strongly about how or whether Christians should vote during this election cycle. However, our deeper commitment as Christians is to Christ, and we are therefore inviting you to join us for a virtual communion service at 7pm that evening (11/5) in which we will remind ourselves of this by partaking of the body and blood of Christ together. This will be a virtual communion service, which means that you will need to register here to get the Zoom link and bring your own bread and juice (or whatever substitutes you may have). Feel free to share this registration link with anyone who wants to participate.
In February 2025, we are partnering with Mennonite Mission Network to provide an opportunity for growing intercultural capacity and racial justice by offering a United States Civil Rights Tour. A few details are listed below and there is a flyer available using the More Information button below. Please consider if you’d like to be a part of this and reply to me by November 13.
Here are a few details:
- Trip Dates: February 18-25, 2025.
- Cost: $300 + travel to/from Tennessee/Georgia.*
- See the attached for more details on the trip itself.
* The actual cost of the pilgrimage is $900, but 2/3 is being covered by IMMC. There will also be a van going from Elkhart Co for those would want to carpool and share that travel cost.
Thanks for considering!
