Central Plains
Conference
▪ We’re better together! This summer, Amanda Bleichty, Conference
Minister for Christian Formation, encourages your youth group to step out of
your comfort zone, to say “YES” to new relationships, and to learn about
discipleship as you take a service/mission trip with another youth group from
our conference. Find out more about the “Youth
Mission Together” project or explore being matched with another CPMC group
at our website, www.centralplainsmc.org/youth-mission-together
or contact Amanda at amandableichty@centralplainsmc.org

thanks for your brothers and sisters in Central Plains and for all the work of
God that is being done through them in Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
South Dakota, Montana, Nebraska, and Colorado.

Mission Network Prayer Request: Praise God that the government in Mongolia has renewed JCS
International’s registration for another two years. JCS is the consortium of
mission agencies through which Mennonite Mission Network ministers in this
country. Pray for God’s light to brighten people’s lives in this season of
extreme cold and short days.
▪ MC USA Announcement:
Political tensions are rising, argumentation has replaced conversation, and
divisions widen. How should pastors and congregational leaders engage? Watch
the
three-part webinar series, entitled “Putting Jesus on the
Ballot: Anabaptism and American Politics with Scott Peterson,” at: http://mennoniteusa.org/what-we-do/the-gathering-place/

We will see how Scripture, history, culture, and strategy come together to reveal the whole story and our role in it.
