Mennonite Mission Network Prayer Request:  Nancy Frey and Bruce Yoder of MMN are working with Mennonites in Burkina Faso to discern how they can best serve the church.  Pray that Bruce and Nancy and their two children may continue to be blessed by the communities where they live, work, and go to school, even as God’s blessing flows through them.

Prayers for Faith and Learning:  Pray for the Hesston College Bel Canto Singers presenting some of their repertoire this morning at Grace Hill Mennonite Church in Whitewater, Kan.  May their music be a ministry and blessing to the congregation.
