Mosaic Mennonite Conference

Hari raya Lebaran atau Idul Fitri adalah hari raya besar yang dirayakan cukup meriah setiap tahunnya. Dan Sebagai orang Kristen yang hidup sebagai minoritas di Indonesia, hari raya Lebaran merupakan hari raya yang diperingati bersama. Dan tradisi ini pun tetap dibawa ketika pergi ke Amerika Serikat. https://mosaicmennonites.org///13/minal-aidin-wal-faizin/

"As we re-enter the new normal, we need to be kind and gentle, for most of us are suffering the emotional repercussions of the last year. You are not alone in this. We can seek help, this is not a time for stigma. Reach out and touch." - Margaret Zook

Our hope does not rest in the political process. The church endures. The Spirit empowers us to bear witness. We will speak the truth. We will act in love until Christ comes again. --- La verdad desarmada y el amor incondicional tendrán la última palabra. - Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King... Nuestra esperanza no está en el proceso político. La iglesia perdura. El Espíritu nos da poder para dar testimonio. Diremos la verdad. Actuaremos con amor hasta que Cristo vuelva. --- Kebenaran sejati dan kasih tak bersyarat akan menjadi jawaban akhirnya. - Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Harapan kita tidak bertumpu kepada proses politik. Gereja akan bertahan. Roh Kudus menguatkan kita untuk menjadi saksi. Kita akan bicara kebenaran. Kita akan bertindak dalam kasih sampai Kristus datang lagi.

Ditengah tengah pandemik ini sekolah online menjadi sebuah new normal yang harus dihadapi oleh keluarga. Tetapi tidak semua keluarga siap untuk hal ini. Oleh sebab itu Philadelphia Praise Center berusaha menjawab kebutuhan komunitas dengan menyelenggarakan drop off school program bagi keluarga-keluarga di South Philadelphia yang mengalami kesulitan. ------ Amid the pandemic, online school becomes the new normal which every family must face. But not all families are ready for this type of learning. That is why Philadelphia Praise Center took the initiative to launch a drop-off school program to help families in South Philadelphia that have difficulties in this matter.

We remain committed to the way of Jesus who commanded Peter to put down the sword, called us to love our enemies, and pray for our persecutors. Yet Jesus also turned tables in anger at injustice. --- Somos un pueblo de la paz de Cristo. - Menno Simons... Seguimos comprometidos al camino de Jesús, quien ordenó a Pedro que dejase la espada, nos llamó a amar a nuestros enemigos y orar por nuestros perseguidores. Sin embargo, Jesús también cambió las mesas con enojo por la injusticia. --- Kita adalah orang-orang pembawa damai Kristus. - Menno Simons Kita tetap berkomitmen seperti cara Yesus memerintahkan Petrus untuk meletakkan pedang, memanggil kita untuk mengasihi musuh, dan mendoakan orang yang bersalah kepada kita. Namun ingat bahwa Yesus juga membalikkan meja melihat ketidakadilan.

Some days we have been overwhelmed by what we have heard and the fear of what may come in the days ahead. Yet God is with us. --- No dejes que nada te disturbe. No dejes que nada te asuste. - Teresa de Ávila... Algunos días nos hemos sentido abrumados por lo que hemos escuchado y el miedo a lo que pueda venir en los días venideros. Sin embargo, Dios está con nosotros. --- Jangan biarkan apapun mengubahmu. Jangan biarkan apapun menakutimu. - Teresa dari Avila Ada hari dimana kita akan merasa sesak akan apa yang kita dengar dan penuh dengan kekhawatiran akan masa depan. Namun Tuhan beserta kita.

Over the past three decades, College Hill has continued its emphasis on community outreach and programming, with their efforts and funding far outreaching what might be expected of a congregation of under 50 people!

In a season of heightened political tension, we have sometimes forgotten our primary loyalty to each other as followers of Christ and to God who demands our full allegiance. God forgive us. --- Buscad primero el reino de Dios - Jesús... En una temporada de tensión política elevada, a veces nos hemos olvidado de nuestra lealtad principal a nosotros como seguidores de Cristo y hacia Dios, que exige nuestra total lealtad. Dios nos perdone. --- Carilah dulu kerajaan Allah - Yesus Di musim yang penuh dengan tensi politik, terkadang kita melupakan loyalitas utama kita sebagai pengikut Kristus dan kepada Tuhan. Tuhan ampunilah kami.

It was at camp that I had my first face-to-face living experience with those of another race, culture, and neighborhood identity. What better place to learn the beauty of diversity than at camp?

The church endures. The Spirit empowers us to bear witness. We will speak the truth. We will act in love until Christ comes again.
