Pandemic Prayer
Great God,
you are an ever-present help in times of trouble,
and that’s why we’re praying now.
We are troubled and we’re worried things
are going to get more troubling.

We are in this together!
The COVID-19 crisis has had a dramatic impact on all of us. Many congregations have already cancelled worship services and are looking for ways to respond. During this unprecedented time we are reminded that we are a part of a faith family that extends across Alberta, nationwide, and around the world. Here are some resources that may be of help during the days and weeks ahead:
- MC Canada has put together a package of resources for responding to pandemics as congregations.
- Several Mennonite online worship services will be available, including a worship posting of music and a sermon from Doug Klassen, Executive Minister from MC Canada (see article below)
- CommonWord has curated a resource list on pandemic preparedness and resources.
- MC Eastern Canada has announced a webinar for early next week to talk about ways to conduct funerals during this state of emergency. Keep an eye on the website mcab.ca for more information.
- Pastors are encouraged to call MCA’s Executive Minister Tim Wiebe-Neufeld for resources or if they have questions, ideas, or concerns.
