W. Metzger
brings message
to Mennonites
At Brussels Mennonite Fellow
ship on Sunday, January 13, the
congregation was inspired by a
sermon given by Willard Metzger
of Floradale Mennonite Church.
Willard based his message on
outreach on Luke 15: 1-10. The end
result of outreach is rejoicing. The
Church isn’t just here for Chris
tians; it is here for the extension of
the kingdom. We’re expected to
walk into sacrifices for this exten

work with determination. Giving
love is an even stronger human
need than receiving love. God loves
through us.
