Sisterhood Tapestry

Coming July 1!

For this third installment of our Sisterhood Bible Study Guide series, Executive Director Cyneatha Millsaps weaves for us a tapestry of stories from the women in her life. Stories are an integral part of who we are as a people - they are how we teach, empathize, remember, and heal. In this guide, Cyneatha weaves together stories from diverse women and stories from the Bible with an invitation to share your stories to create your own Sisterhood Tapestry with your group. Cost is $10 for individual use and $50 for groups.

Mennonite World Conference general assembly in Indonesia starts July 5

Our own Rhoda Keener will be traveling to Indonesia with Carolyn Heggen and Ofelia Garcia to offer seminars on Sister Care and Compassionate Care. Esther Muhagachi was scheduled to travel with them, but was unable to get a visa at the last minute. Thankfully, she will still be able to attend online and will present with Rhoda and Carolyn at both seminars. We are so grateful that Mennonite Women USA will have such an enriching presence at World Conference.

We have created a prayer calendar for July 1-15 to help us keep track of what's happening there and keep women in our prayers. Click the calendar below for a .pdf version you can print and hang on your fridge, bathroom mirror, desk bulletin board, or anywhere you'll see it daily. We'll also be adding a post to social media each day that goes deeper into what we're asking for prayer for.

We encourage you to share this calendar with your networks!

We have been so blessed by our International Volunteer Exchange Program (IVEP) intern, Monica Raharjo from Indonesia. Monica has been helping us with creating for our social media, filming and editing promotional videos, and building a revamped website. Sadly, she'll be heading back home at the beginning of July. While here in the US, she's had the opportunity to go on many adventures with her host family and other IVEPers and has helped Cyneatha with a few in person events. Her work has been so appreciated! You can reach Monica at monicar@mwusa.org if you would like to say goodbye!
