Thank you for your prayer support!
Monthly prayer focusMany people take vacations in July. The Psalmist said: “He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters” (Psalm 23:2). This month pray that our summer vacations will serve a “restful purpose”. |

We are “Gathering” in Montreal
Pray for travel safety as many people from Saskatchewan and across Canada travel to Montreal this week for the Canadian Mennonite Brethren “Gathering”. Pray for the Board of Faith and Life as they meet on Wednesday. The agenda is long and the time is short – pray for wisdom to make good decisions quickly and efficiently. The convention sessions run from Thursday evening to Saturday noon. Pray that this would be an inspiring and God honouring time.

Celebration and sadness mix at West Portal
The Congregation at West Portal Church is thanking Dwayne and Irma Barkman today for 19 years of pastoral ministry.
