100 years ago, Mennonites in the U.S. and Canada heard and responded to an urgent call from their neighbours. With millions dying from war, epidemics and starvation in southern Russia (present-day Ukraine), they organized food and clothing to send overseas. Just like that, MCC was born. MCC is still responding to hundreds of disasters, caring for displaced people and partnering with others to find smart solutions to complex problems.

As MCC celebrates its centennial year, we want to hear your MCC story. MCC is made up of thousands of people sharing their gifts in their home communities and around the world. And each MCC experience is unique, made up of small moments that tell a larger story. Upload a photo or video with a short 750-character description, or submit a text-only story. If you have a longer story we’d love to read that too. Go to mcco.ca/share-your-story for more info and to browse stories. We look forward to seeing your stories!
For the third year, Wilmot Family Resource Centre has been participating in the Coldest Night of the Year Walk to bring awareness of homelessness, hunger and hurting individuals in our community. The walk takes place on February 22, 5:00 PM starting at the New Hamburg Community Centre. You can walk 2 km, 5 km or 10 km. A hot supper will be served following the walk. Hillcrest and Mannheim have registered teams to walk and raise money and would like to challenge your church to participate as well. Register your team at cnoy.org/wilmot and let’s show our community support. Any questions, contact Ashley at WFRC at WFRC or 519-662-2731.
This week MCC announced the closure of the corporate operations of Ten Thousand Villages Canada, including the head office and distribution centre in New Hamburg, Ten Thousand Villages Canada's online store, wholesale operations and the 10 company stores. Ten Thousand Villages Canada is a program of MCC Canada and in recent years has encountered considerable financial difficulty. The MCC Canada board has been closely monitoring a turnaround plan implemented a year or so ago which was unsuccessful. This decision will impact the lives of thousands of artisans, employers, volunteers, supporters and consumers in Canada and around the world. MCC board and staff members are saddened by this outcome but understand the necessity of moving forward in this way.
Multiple locations. Thousands of stitches of hope and warmth. Get involved with something record-breaking big! MCC wants to collect 6,500 comforters to deliver to people affected by conflict and disasters around the world. They need our help to reach their goal. Quilt knotting parties will be happening across the country on January 18, 2020. Join knotters at Hillcrest Mennonite Church or at 50 Kent in Kitchener. Exact times will be in next week's bulletin.
