MCC Manitoba Bulletin Announcements for December 3, 2023

Choose gifts that change lives. Sometimes the best gifts are ones that you can’t simply pull off a shelf. This Christmas, we invite you to explore all the ways that you can share gifts of comfort and joy for the world. Visit mcc.org/Christmas to see what gifts would delight your loved ones and inspire them to see the change they could spark across the globe.

Christmas is a season that is filled with the spirit of generosity. Have you ever stopped to think what it means to be generous? MCC has an educational resource to help young people explore that question and many others. Download it today for activities and ideas that can be used for Sunday school classes, youth groups, families with kids or anyone young at heart. mcc.org/learning-about-generosity-mcc

Do you know a young adult who's looking to serve internationally, with opportunities to grow in their faith, life and work experience? Encourage them to sign up for SALT! MCC’s Serving and Learning Together (SALT) program is a year-long cross-cultural experience for Canadian and U.S. citizens. It’s a chance to immerse yourself in another culture and grow in ways you never imagined. There is no fee to participate, and applications close February 15, 2024. Visit mcc.org/salt for more information and to apply.

“Jerusalem was the city of the resurrection, it’s the city where my parish is. It’s where we pray every Sunday.”

Listen to the words of Omar Haramy, director of MCC partner Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center in Jerusalem, on what he would like Christians outside of Palestine and Israel to know. You can watch it on YouTube here.

As conflict has escalated in the region, MCC laments the violence and mourns all lives lost in Palestine and Israel. MCC remains committed to a just peace for all, and we invite you to join us in praying for an end to the violence.

MCC is responding to the current crisis with existing partners as safety allows, providing ready to eat food packages and bedding to families in need. Our response is focused on the humanitarian needs in Gaza, given the vulnerability of the population and lack of resources available to families. We are also planning to offer trauma healing support and housing reconstruction.

MCC will continue to work with partners in both Palestine and Israel towards a just peace for all. We welcome donations to support our response to the current crisis, mcc.org/Palestine-Israel.
