2010 Assembly Sunday Worship Resources: Calgary, AB

This worship resource has been developed by the worship team of this year’s assembly to link to our Canada-wide church in worship on the assembly theme. This resource can be used for worship on July 4th, or for reporting back to your congregation about this year’s Assembly at a later date.

From June 29-July 3, 2010 individuals from Mennonite congregations across Canada will gather to worship and work together as Mennonite Church Canada. The theme for this year, inspired by Colossians 3:15-17, is “Reclaiming Jesus™: Gladly Wear the Name”. In accordance with a 2006 Assembly resolution about core scripture texts, Colossians 3:12-17 has provided us with spiritual guidance for the last two years. This year our primary focus is on the latter verses of this text. We hope and pray that worshiping with this text will create a space for the peace of Christ to grow in our hearts. We pray that we will be equipped and empowered to identify with Christ, and do everything out of gratitude, and in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
