Ben Hess, the new associate pastor at Canton Mennonite Church, gave a thought provoking message on grace and mercy. He began by reminding each of those present that grace is “the undeserved, unearned, unmerited favor of God.” Ben challenged us to understand the difference between exhibiting grace to someone and exhibiting mercy through the use of illustrations.
Donation boxes are scattered in the room for individuals to give a donation for the meal and meditation that is then used by the Ministerial association to support both the Canton Food Pantry and Heifer International.
Next week, we will enjoy lunch provided by the Tri-County Parish including turkey noodle soup, assorted sandwiches, cake and beverage. Pastor Jerry Schmidt will give the message. Join us, Tuesday, March 17, 2015 at Canton Ecumenical Parish for lunch beginning at 11:45 a.m.
