Crossing to the other side: Living as people of peace in a time of fear and terror is Mennonite Central Committee’s downloadable worship service packet for Peace Sunday 2015. Reflections on Mark 4:35–5:13, Romans 12:9–21 and Psalm 46 explore the theme of peace in a time of fear. The guide contains readings and prayers and a children’s drama for worship services. It also tells 10 stories of peace in the face of fear, such as Colombian Mennonite Brethren pastors who steadfastly support the local rice industry despite death threats from paramilitaries.

MBBS-Advent-cover21-500x772“Hope is similar to a seed in that it contains more than we can ever imagine. Thirteen times in 2 Samuel 7:9–17, the LORD says He will act on the hope of David to do more than the king envisioned…. Advent is a time to celebrate with anticipation this expansive, explosive hope that has been revealed to us in and through Jesus Christ.”

Hear the story: for the Advent season, MB Biblical Seminary and Kindred Productions have partnered to offer 27 devotionals written by pastors and leaders from across Canada to focus our hope on the coming of Jesus Christ. Hard copies can be pre-ordered until Oct. 9, 2015.
