MCM Mondays
You are welcome to join in a MCM Monday learning and conversation event.
These 45 minute sessions are designed to bring brief input on a topic relevant to congregational life and mission, and then allow you to connect with others in MCM who may be thinking about or working on this topic.
All sessions will be online, 8:00pm - 8:45pm.
Upcoming Mondays
March 27 - Indigenous Solidarity.
Our Mennonite Coalition for Indigenous Solidarity (MCIS) is wanting to collaborate across the province to support each other on important actions. As we introduce our group, we also want to hear what your congregations are working on! Join the conversation as we build a movement of reconciliation in Manitoba.
April 3: Building Use follow-up starting early at 7:30pm
MCM Monday will have a follow-up conversation on use of our church buildings. Bring your questions and stories to the conversation as we explore what outstanding research needs to be done to equip congregations for this discerning work. Conversation will be guided by Melanie Neufeld, Director of Mission Engagement.
