Women walking together in faith - July 2014 - "Let's celebrate"

is the name of Mennonite Women Canada's page in the Canadian Mennonite magazine. Our executive members each take a turn writing or finding someone to write. The most recent article appeared on July 7 and was written by Waltrude Gortzen our BC Women's Ministry Rep. She begins her article by saying "In our frenzied, everyday lives, it is essential that we celebrate important ministry anniversaries or family milestones that come along...." Click here to read the whole article and see the photo of Waltrude's mother who recently celebrated her 80th birthday.

Sister Care Worksop at Assembly

We had invited Rhoda Keener to lead a workshop/seminar during Assembly to introduce Sister Care. Rachel Bergen, Co-editor of the Canadian Mennonite Young Voices feature was present and reported the event on-line under the heading "Sisters equipped to care for their sisters". I looked for the article in the print edition but I couldn't find it. Thanks, Rachel, for your perspective on this seminar. You can find it here!

BC women 'at a time of crossroads'
Back a few months ago I posted announcements about the upcoming events that the provincial/area church women's organizations were hosting. See post from March 29 (click here). The follow-up report for WMCEC's event "Faith, Food and Friends" was posted on May 8. In addition WMCEC's "Tulip Festival Bus Tour" report appeared on May 28.
The BC Women's Ministry event took place on May 3 with a Diamond Anniversary celebrating 75 years. Amy Dueckman, BC Correspondent for the Canadian Mennonite, wrote a report which was published May 26. "Five past presidents of what was formerly BC Women in Mission shared memories reflecting how serving had changed them and how women's roles in church and society has changed over the years."

Thanks to the planning committee members of BC Women's Ministry: Waltrude Gortzen (Abbotsford), Rita Siebert (Richmond) and Cheryl Dyck (Mission) for the commitment of time and energy you have put into your province-wide events!
