All proceeds go directly to the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) for non-for-profit relief, and to demonstrate God’s love by blessing people around the world.

Breslau and area Mennonite Churches began participating in the sale by providing home baked strawberry pies. The first year, 1967, 100 pies were made. In 2023, plans are to sell 850 strawberry pies. The churches currently contributing to the pie project, both financially and with volunteers are Breslau, Bloomingdale, Listowel, and Pioneer Park Mennonite Churches.

Hope to see you Saturday, May 27 at the New Hamburg Relief Sale in support of the work of Mennonite Central Committee.  Activities are also going on Friday evening, May 26. https://nhmrs.com/quilt-catalogue/2023

Holy One, thank you for the wonder of Resurrection hope.
Inspire us to live full of your Easter love and to proclaim your Easter promise.
Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. Alleluia! Amen.

In this time before Easter, the season of Lent, we are asking and exploring: What is shaping you? What does it mean to be images of the God who created you? What does it mean to live in the way of Jesus? Whose call do we act on?

Join Breslau Mennonite Church for worship on Sundays at 9:45 am. ALL are welcome!

Everlasting God, your love stretches across the ages and around all of creation, a constant beacon of hope and promise. Your love provides us with your unwavering acceptance and peace. Your love untangles the messy dramas of our lives, guiding us with the certainty of your forgiveness and faithfulness. When we are overwhelmed with uncertainty, remind us that all things are possible with you, and reassure us that you are God-with-us.

Pastor Eleanor               Amanda

In the mighty name of God, in the saving name of Jesus,
in the strong name of the Spirit, we come, we cry, we watch,
we wait, we look, we long for you.
Refrain – “We Come”

The community of Breslau Mennonite Church gathers, worships, learns, and serves. All are welcome for Advent Christmas worship, beginning Sunday November 27. With peace, hope, joy, and love join for lessons and carols on Christmas Eve worship at 7:00 pm. Online worship December 25 celebrates the birth of the Christ Child. All are welcome! Come let us worship and celebrate!

For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1

Giving thanks to God is an attitude that requires practice. It is part of a practice of prayer in which everyone can share in.

Replenishing God, nurture us as you nurture all creation through the changing seasons. We give thanks for the brilliant autumn colours, transforming our landscapes and emphasizing the beauty and wonder of the world around us. As leaves fall and cover the earth, we remember that your love blankets us.

We give thanks for the abundance of harvest time, the expression of your blessings from creation. Encourage and strengthen us to become more tender stewards, respecting the glory and wonder of creation. Inspire and prompt us to become more diligent stewards of the gifts with which you have blessed us.

We trust in the passing of each season, knowing that with the approaching cold of winter, new life waits beneath the surface. So too, we place our faith in your love which can nourish new life. Awaken us and call us to grow in service to you, in prayer and daily acts of care.

Give us comfort and the reassurance that you abide with us in shadowed and chaotic times. Grant us healing and hope. For everything there is a season, your love, O God, endures forever. Thanks be to God. Amen.

 with gratitude,
Pastor Eleanor
