Mennonite Conference Prayer Request:

worship and discernment. We pray especially for David Boshart as he closes out
his time as the MC USA moderator.

Central Committee is now collecting Immigration detainee care kits. When people who have been placed in
immigration detention centers are released, they often have nothing more than
the clothes on their backs. Kits containing clothing and hygiene products can
help to rebuild their dignity as they are taken to bus stations and airports to
reconnect with their families in the U.S. Please visit mcc.org/immigrationkit for all the
details of what goes into the kit and how the kits will be distributed. It is
one small way we can share Christ’s love with our neighbors. All kit supplies
should be sent to MCC Central States 121 E. 30th, PO Box 235, North
Newton, KS 67117. Questions? Please contact MCC at 316.283.2720.
▪ Mennonite
Mission Network Prayer Request: Pray for Arloa Bontrager and
Mennonite Mission Network staff as they organize the service projects at
MennoCon19, the Mennonite Church USA convention that will be held in Kansas
City, Missouri, July 2-6. Pray for a strong witness to God’s love as bystanders
see faith in action.
▪ MC USA Announcement: Pray
this week for people of all ages attending MennoCon19, the July
2-6 MC USA convention in Kansas City, Missouri, that those attending may
fellowship together, learn from one another, encounter God's love and be
transformed.
