Vision Series: Our Purpose Statement: We exist to glorify God and to be Christ's ambassadors to the world. And our Mission Statement: We express our love for God by worshipping Him together, introducing people to Jesus, nurturing God's family, and serving in obedience to Christ. How is God calling us to live this out? This fall, we will discern together how God is calling us to this work beginning with a vision weekend in which Darren Peachey, CMC conference minister will join us Sept. 11-12. Pray for God's leading as we seek Him.

Last week, storm and straight line winds threw trees and limbs all over, damaging many houses and destroying several out-buildings at Amigo Centre near Sturgis, Michigan. Staff-person Cheryl Mast reports that the clean up and repair job is enormous. Amigo Centre is a beloved facility of the Indiana-Michigan Conference of the Mennonite Church USA. They are suffering from pandemic-related closings and now may need to cancel fall programs as well. They need help! Chainsaw crews and roofers are needed immediately. There is no ability to house or feed crews in the near term, but call to find out the situation and how you can help. For information contact Mandy Yoder at (269) 651-2811 or at program@amigocentre.org
