Every Sunday is a family reunion for the family of God. We miss you when you are not with us.
We thank all who helped with the food stand, donated time and food, helped move tables and chairs and many other things for the Ken Umble Cow Sale. We will announce the amount raised for the building fund and the youth fund once all the accounts are figured out. It was great to see so many helping.
During November we consider some of the recommendations made by our church consultant. As Christians in communion with the Maple Grove Mennonite Church all of us should:
- Assume the best
- Speak the truth in the appropriate settings, in respectful ways.
- Once a decision is made, live with it, even if you don’t like it. Stop re-doing decisions in the parking lot.
