For part of our worship service on October 21, 2007, we focused on the situation in Zimbabwe. A recent international Koinonia Delegation sent by Mennonite World Conference (MWC) noted the hardships experienced by many people due to things such as food and water shortages, extreme inflation, and record unemployment. Zimbabwe hosted the last MWC World Assembly in 2003, and Mennonites from around the world were blessed by the hospitality they experienced.

As a congregation we offered our prayers for the people of Zimbabwe, and also collected an offering of $788 for the emergency fund that has been set up by Mennonite Central Committee.
