We at Community Mennonite are filled with thanksgiving for having been led together and for Cyneatha & Steve Millsaps’ positive response to our invitation. They have joined us in celebrating God’s call for their ongoing involvement with CMC.

Initially (2/25/07) we commissioned the Millsapses to ministry in CMC for an interim assignment during which time we hoped to confirm arrangements for their long-term ministry with CMC.  We prayed that God would bless this venture and that all details would be faced in a way that would free them to the full extent of their calling. That has indeed happened beyond  all expectation.

                              On   June   6, 2007  the

                             CMC  congregation con-

                            firmed  it’s desire to have

                           Pastor  Cyneatha  join the

                          CMC  pastoral  team  on a

                         permanent  basis.  We  are

                        thrilled   that  she  accepted

                       our call.  We  are  just as ex-

                      cited   to  anticipate   Steve’s

                     strong   gifts,   especially   as

                    they relate to the needs of our

                   youth.

As  of  August  2007  we’re  excited  to  do everything we can to help the Millsapses relocate to  Markham  just  as  soon  as that is possible. It’s no easy task given the many issues that must be resolved;  i.e., bringing their “Elkhart life” to an orderly close, housing, additional employment beyond CMC, etc. A new target date of July 1, 2008 has been set for their relocation to Markham.

Please keep us all in prayer.
