More than 400 delegates will be in Southern Manitoba this weekend (February 9th and 10th) at the Winkler Bergthaler Church for the annual All Units meeting of Mennonite Disaster Services. The event only comes to Canada every 5 years, so it’s pretty cool it’s in Southern Manitoba this time around.

MDS Canadian Operations Director Ross Penner was our guest today, and Morning Show Co-Host Chris Sumner connected with him to talk about what will be happening at the meeting which will attract more than 400 delegates from across North America.

 

 

Ross also chatted about MDS Canada’s efforts over the past year, and what’s to come in 2018.

 

 

And remember, an invitation has been extended to all of us to attend the weekend’s events at Winkler Bergthaler Church free of charge. That includes Friday evening’s theatrical performance of “Stories of Jesus” by Ted and Co Theatreworks, and Saturday morning’s keynote guest speaker six time Olympic medalist Cindy Klassen.
