Marlene Friesen of Abbotsford reflects on her third Walk in the Spirit of Reconciliation, held this year in various parts of British Columbia.

We give thanks for Superb Mennonite Church, a small congregation that nourished Christian faith in rural Saskatchewan for more than 75 years. We give thanks for the leadership of Peter J. Klassen after 10 Mennonite families settled in the area in 1927. We remember with thanks the Simply Superb choir which performed several full-length musicals under the leadership of Grant Martens. Although the final worship service on May 31 was complicated to arrange, with only 10 people allowed to gather, we give thanks that an official closing was possible. May God bless all former congregants as they find new church homes.

We pray for Mennonite schools as they adapt to the challenge of providing a faith-based, holistic program for their students in the fall. Although school administrators agree that online learning has been a good interim measure, they recognize that classroom interactions, social connections and extra-curricular activities are an important part of education, so they are planning in creative and adaptable ways for the new school year. While schools in some provinces are expecting to fully re-open, others are not certain how much on-campus activity there will be. We pray that students and staff can all be flexible and resourceful.
