Our sermon this Sunday was a video recording of the message given by Mennonite Church Canada executive minister Doug Klassen at the recent MC Sask delegate sessions. Doug joins ancient religious leader Nicodemus in wrestling with how the identi
We come to Easter Sunday expecting a happy ending, as we should, with Jesus having risen from the grave! However, the gospel of Mark leaves readers with an entirely different vibe: overwhelming fear. Why is that? And how is this story of fear s
On Palm Sunday, Christians around the globe sing praises to King Jesus. And yet, when we read the gospels, on Palm Sunday Jesus actually walked away from the crown and all it promised. Why would he do such a thing? And what does it mean for us

Not all of our emotions in this Season of Creation are pleasant ones. The climate crisis is a loaded topic that generates strong reactions, including more than a bit of anger on all sides. What do we do with feelings of rage--our own, those fro
