Wendy Janzen, MCEC Eco-Minister, and Herb Sawatzky, pastor of Bethany Mennonite Church, invite you to join in a monthly prayer for our planet. Let’s come together to pray for our concerns around climate justice (ways that climate change has unequal impacts on marginalized and vulnerable populations, both human and more-than-human). Sign up for the Zoom link at mcec.ca.

We believe that people of all abilities have been created to experience community! Our vision for "LINC" is to use its programs as a place of connection and growth for young adults with special needs.
