Greetings from Zion! An evening program was held on April 19 which, was brought by the Teichroeb Family as well as Peter and Margaret Klassen. Peter showed pictures of his trip to Israel and the many places where Jesus had walked. The following month another program was held and performed by Prairieland Gospel and the Bruno Funk Family. Both evenings were eventful followed by a snack in the church basement. On May 3 we had quite the large group of people that transferred their membership to Zion. We heard a lot of testimonies of how they came to know the Lord personally. It’s amazing how the Lord speaks to every different individual, and how they feel the nudge to accept him as their personal Saviour. About 60 women attended the Mother’s Day Tea on May 9. Their guest speaker was Nancy Sullivan. She shared a bit about the women in Thailand, and how they met the requirements of Proverbs 31. It talks about the virtuous and godly women – a woman of strong character, great wisdom, many skills, and great compassion. However, the most important thing they were lacking was that Jesus was not a part of their life. In the last while there’s been a great need to pray for members of the congregation. John and Neta Wiens have had their share of battles. He has been in the hospital for quite some time fighting leukemia. He is undergoing treatments at this time. Pray that he will regain his health and that they will be strengthened through this. Also pray for the members that have lost their spouse, that they will feel the presence of Page 10 Large Group Transfers to Zion Zion CMC, Schanzenfeld, Manitoba Visit the CMC on the Web Missions The Chronicle Radio Ministry Church Info www.chortitzer.com God even when it seems like they’ve lost everything.
