God calls us to be “the light of the world” in Matthew 5:14, and to “live in peace with each other (1 Thessalonians 5:13).”  Each Sunday as we gather to worship together, we join in prayer for peace in our homes, our community, and in our world.  As we remember those in need in the world, we model Jesus as we “go into all the world (Mark 16:15).”

• Three or four times a year, Sunday school participants discuss current events and hot topics which encourage putting our faith in action.  Often these times of deliberate action lead to a time of letter writing, asking our local and national leaders to consider our viewpoints while making policy decisions.

• In June, July and August, as school approaches, you will find many members of Perkasie Mennonite purchasing pencils by the dozen, notebooks by the hundreds, or crayons by the crate.  Sewing machines are humming as members sew beautiful patches of fabric into school bags.  In September, school supplies are packed into school kits and lovingly distributed to children worldwide through Mennonite Central Committee. In 2008, Perkasie Mennonite provided MCC with 1,030 school kits.

• Erica and Joel Smith are medical missionaries in Mexico.  Erica Frederick worshipped at PMC for several years while serving as a local nurse.  When she renewed her childhood friendship with Joey Smith, a physician living in Mexico, the church supported their marriage and continues to financially support their mission of providing medical help to those in need around them.  In February 2010, eight members of PMC are planning a service trip to assist Joey and Erica in their mission in various ways.
