Anabaptist World Fellowship Sunday

Each year, Anabaptist-related churches around the world are encouraged to worship around a common theme on a Sunday close to January 21, usually the fourth Sunday in January. On that date in 1525, the first Anabaptist baptism took place in Zurich, Switzerland. Anabaptist World Fellowship Sunday provides an opportunity to remember our common roots and celebrate our worldwide koinonia.

Hamilton Mennonite Church is grateful to be part of Mennonite World Conference, and we will pray together for our global siblings in faith on January 23.We will especially pray for the next MWC global assembly, being planned as a hybrid event in Indonesia from July 5-10, 2022.

This Doxology is usually sung as the benediction in GKMI (Gereja Kristen Muria Indonesia) congregations, one of the 3 MWC member churches in Indonesia:

English
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him, all creatures here below
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
AMEN

Bahasa Indonesian
Kepada Allah b’ri puji
Semua makhluk di bumi
PadaNya ku b’ri pujian
Bapa, Anak dan Roh Suci
Amin
